Brett Detar This City Dies Tonight
This city dies tonight.
I’ve never seen the lights shine so bright.
Like a crown i’ll wear my way out of town.
This city dies tonight.
‘Cause here there’s too many past lives
and dusty streets with a story to tell.
All of my heroes are dead.
My story is written and it ain’t written well.
There’s cheering in the streets.
I wear a crown of defeat.
I never meant to let you down that’s why i’m leavin’
town.
‘Cause here there’s too many faces
cause everyone’s got an extra they hide.
All of their smiles always showing
‘til they think you’re not looking or you look in their
eyes.
Everyone wants to be remembered.
I never planned to be remembered like this.
Now I never ever want to come back alone.
Lord only knows if I’ll even be missed.
Cause here there’s too many strangers.
I thought i knew them but I guess I was wrong.
All of my friends turned against me.
My story is written and it’s been written wrong.
it’s been written wrong
