Grey City

[Adverse]

Oh grey city, built on melancholy
Blanketed in smog, tucked beneath the shadows of the Rockies
I've traversed a thousand miles, but your stagnancy still claws at me
Thought i shed your skin, but i still embody all your imperfected qualities
Always made me feel dwarfed staring at the big city lights in Denver
I hastened from the belittling but couldn't hide forever
Still drowning in your decay, still every night i fight the pressure
But it's like my birthright, a reminder I'll never get my life together
You've swallowed so many in your sinful afflictions and addictive fixes
Were we all born under a bad moon or is their a system to how you pick your victims?
The Thought I'm most terrified with is what if my parents vices
Birthed me into an unfair fight and warranted the fact I'll never find where paradise is..
The dark cloud lingering above that makes me feel like i lose when I'm winnin'
The filter I've been cursed with mass producing these blue-tinted visions
When i absconded from those city limits i thought that was the ending
Now I'm convinced you'd accompany me to the edge of any dimension
To the very brink of existence, waiting for the most fated of kisses
Your weighted persistence is relentless, you've shaped me so oblong
And cemented the fact that no matter where i go it won't make any difference
