Come in liar, I've seen you around

Gimme some reasons to stay in this town

This anxiety is bringing me down

Listen to the story of the city of iron

It happened without a sound

I was caught upside down

By a red hand, a hand that grabbed my soul

And for a century

I fucking fell asleep

With no smile, no smile but a gun

Are you oppressed?

Full of distress?

No one can leave this mess

Come in liar, I've seen you around

Gimme some reasons to stay in this town

This anxiety is bringing me down

One more scam in the city of iron

Don't ask me who, where, when and why

The nightmare has come to life

Hardworking men you feel it in your bones

When today's friends, yeah today's friends

Are tomorrow's killers

Your future is to buy under the table

Are you oppressed?

Full of distress?

No one can leave this mess

Come in liar, I've seen you around

Gimme some reasons to stay in this town

This anxiety is bringing me down

One more scam in the city of iron

And big brother must die under a fire sky

The city is dead, long live all the lies

And hope will sing along, raised fist and rebel songs

The city is dead, long live all the lies

Come in liar, I've seen you around

Gimme some reasons to stay in this town

This anxiety is bringing me down

This is the end of the city of iron

You better close your eyes

This place is out of human rights

A slaughterhouse for souls

Trapping your dreams through broken walls

You can't run away, you can't move on

You can't ask for help, there is no way out

To broken souls and starving kids: stay strong

We gotta RISE, FIGHT, PROVE that we were right

No choice, no help, no compromise

We gotta RISE, FIGHT, PROVE that we were right

We won't give up these lives

You will be freed from cruelty

You all deserve to dream

Suicidal thoughts

And mental injuries

No kids should face or should die from it

You don't belong there anymore

You can't run away, you can't move on

You can't ask for help, there is no way out

To broken souls and starving kids: stay strong

We gotta RISE, FIGHT, PROVE that we were right

No choice, no help, no compromise

We gotta RISE, FIGHT, PROVE that we were right

We won't give up these lives

You will be freed from cruelty

You all deserve to dream

We gotta RISE, FIGHT, PROVE that we were right

No choice, no help, no compromise

We gotta RISE, FIGHT, PROVE that we were right

We won't give up these lives

You will be freed from cruelty

You all deserve to dream

Away, away, let's go far away

Walking till the sunset to shine some rainy day

Away, away, let's go far away

Nothing will save me so join me on my way

I was badly hindered, yet unable to stop

But dying in my bed, I'll never give it a thought

I was craving for more, adventure just begun

Till pain takes me over, I'll walk towards the sun

'Was earning a good living, living the good life

If I could free up my mind, escape my daily grind

I'll make a good story, out of this, my little son

See where the wind takes me, one last trip, come along

Don't stop me, I'd rather die on the side of the road

Than in a clean white room, in an empty paper robe

Away, away, let's go far away

Walking till the sunset to shine some rainy day

Away, away, let's go far away

Nothing will save me so join me on my way

Just started my journey, there is nothing left to fear

Weaving through the day, a final glass of good cheer

Just got back on my track, choosing my route aimlessly

Till my mind can no longer override my body

Don't stop me, I'd rather die on the side of the road

Than in a clean white room, in an empty paper robe

Away, away, let's go far away

Walking till the sunset to shine some rainy day

Away, away, let's go far away

Nothing will save me so join me on my way

Away, away, let's go far away

Walking till the sunset to shine some rainy day

Away, away, let's go far away

Nothing will save me so join me on my way

It's crazy how you walk the line

Are you never tired man?

The years go by and look alike

She's not coming back again

A whole new path lays before your eyes

But man, make no mistake

A better way only comes around once

We're not coming back again

Rise to live in a better way

Rise to live in a better way

A better way, no don't be afraid

You're not the only one to blame

Look around and take a breath

She's not coming back again

So tell me now or never tell me

You know a mirror never lies

Time's flying, can I submit?

We're not coming back again

Rise to live in a better way

Rise to live in a better way

Rise to live in a better way

Rise to live in a better way

So tell me now or never tell me

You know a mirror never lies

Rise to live in a better way

As the sun goes down on this blurry life

I'm still waiting for you, avoiding all strifes

But you won't show up and I'll be on my own

Drunk and depressed, I'm falling and alone

I'm back in these faded sheets

The ones that keep me real

You'll never come back, you'll never come home

But you're so strong at draining my hope

Stuck in a game, opposing a wraith

I'm feeding my demons and starving my faith

I'm giving up now, surrendering too

Because there's no one up there to hold on to

And I'll be honest with you, this story's killing me

No one is saying my name, but they're pointing at me

If I should leave this world, no one would come around

These faded sheets remain as my lost crown

I'm back in these faded sheets

The ones that keep me real

You'll never come back, you'll never come home

But you're so strong at draining my hope

I say "Hey, please stop your ups and downs"

You keep fighting but I'm laying on the ground

Please stop your ups and downs

You've burned my soul and I'm six feet underground

I'm back in these faded sheets

The ones that keep me real

You'll never come back, you'll never come home

But you're so strong at draining my hope

I'm back in these faded sheets

The ones that keep me real

You'll never come back, you'll never come home

But you're so strong at draining my hope

As down the glen one easter morn to a city fair rode I

There armed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by

No pipe did hum no battle drum did sound its loud tattoo

But the Angelus Bells o'er the Liffey swells rang out in the foggy dew

Right proudly high over Dublin town hung they out the flag of war

'Twas better to die 'neath that Irish sky than at Sulva or Sud-El-Bar

And from the plains of Royal Meath strong men came hurrying through

While Brittania's Huns with their long range guns sailed in through the foggy dew

Oh the bravest fell, and the requiem bell rang mournfully and clear

For those who died that Eastertide in the spring time of the year

And the world did gaze, in deep amaze, at those fearless men but few

Who bore the fight that freedom's light might shine through the foggy dew

As back through the glen I rode again, and my heart with grief was sore

For I parted then with valiant men whom I'll never shall see'n more

But to and fro in my dreams I go And I kneel and pray for you

For slavery fled, O glorious dead, When you fell in the foggy dew

Since I was a kid, I lived on my own

Couldn't share the feeling of having a home

Surviving outside was my only goal

After years of traveling around cities and states

I was hit with the idea to just stay in one place

Get back to society's normal pace

I want to live things by my own

I won't be missed by any friends or anyone

Leaving my family and I'll never come back home

Back to the streets where I belong

Wake up, get a job, it's all so unfair

I miss the road, my new life is going nowhere

It was stuck until she crossed my path it was my only hope

Now I've been married for 10 years, two kids of my own

And my bag is ready close to the front door

I'll never thought I'd leave it all

But I don't want this life no more

I want to live things by my own

I won't be missed by any friends or anyone

Leaving my family and I'll never come back home

Back to the streets where I belong

I want to live things by my own

I won't be missed by any friends or anyone

Leaving my family and I'll never come back home

Back to the streets where I belong

Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk

I met a little girl and we stopped to talk

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do

'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue

And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl

'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

We were halfway there when the rain came down

Of a day -I-ay-I-ay

And she asked me up to her flat downtown

Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do

Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue

I took her hand and I gave her a twirl

And I lost my heart to a Galway girl

When I woke up I was all alone

With a broken heart and a ticket home

Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay

And I ask you now, tell me what would you do

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue

I've traveled around I've been all over this world

I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

I traveled for a while, crossing borders overseas

I flew around the world with my friends and family

I doubted, I felt sad and I won't move anymore

But I've never crossed the flooded roads of Kent county before

Waking up every morning and try to feel alright

Dark clouds were never far away, you better hold on tight

'Cause you'll be broken down, you're far away, it's impossible to react

Ride through flooded roads in Kent, it's more than just a fact

When you feel your heart is going to come out of your chest

She crossed a line in her own life, and you try your best

To not be broken down, while you're far away, it's impossible to react

Ride through flooded roads in Kent, it's more than just a fact

She wants to finally close her eyes

And she's calling for your help

When she's asking for your arms

But you're far away from home

You cannot help her out

And it's breaking up your soul

What are these scars on my face that no bullshit can justify?

You said I should have solved the problem

I'm running out of time

Excuses are made to be used so don't blame me

Wake me up when I forgot my insecurity

And I know that one more pill will maybe kill the pain

And I know that the next day will be the same

Again

I'm trying to do my best to keep it up

But shadows of my past make me drift so much

Angry as you can see, it's hard to explain

How in my lonely rhythm I'm going insane

And I know that one more drink will maybe kill the pain

And I know that the next day will be the same

What's next?

The sound of smiles doesn't reach my desert, again

What about me?

I'm deeply sorry but I never ask for it

And I know that one more drink will maybe kill the pain

And I know that the next day will be the same

Again
