Urban America Lyrics

I'm waiting, but I think I found the key, if I turn that lock it might change everything
I'm hating what I chose to never be, but from the outside I don't understand
Life is killing me

Sometimes I bleed, it never hurt so bad to never be anything
And now I love, how long till jealousy renders me obsolete

Sinking into a hole at 23, I wanna crawl out but I can't see anything
And she's drinking so the driving's up to me, and I'm speeding the wrong way down a one way street, It could kill me...

Sometimes I leave, but in the rear-view, life is looking good to me
And now I love, the mediocrity of NYC, could be enough for me
I could give up again, I'm sleeping in a world that's only razor thin

Urban America, we're living in multi-color, new blood begins when skin is blending in
Segregation, soul deception, class division, deceit
Urban America, they campaign claiming our power, but still they're scared to walk inside our streets, No decisions, fixed elections, broken systems, incomplete

Urban America, we're living with a new terror, their price for peace exceeds insanity,
Death destruction, sex with virgins, for religion, the weak
Urban America, we're breeding the challenger, new minds aware debate in Union Square, Education, new direction, superstitions, disappear

Bring it back...

It's breaking, inside of me, it never hurt so bad to never be anything
And now I love, the mediocrity, of me
I could give up again, I'm sleeping...I'm sleeping
