CONCRETE JUNGLE

(album: THE DEATH OF PEACE OF MIND - 2022)

Can you see yourself through the bruises when the makeup melts?
In the dark when all the power's out
Everybody talks and gets around

When the money talks
Do you think it gets the point across?
It's a burning coal you're walking on
And in a second all the pain is gone

I said it's enough
I begged and I ran in circles
I climbed to the sun and fell in a concrete jungle
I said it's done
You never know if you'll get what you wish for
I climbed to the sun and I fell, I fell in a concrete jungle

The coyotes cry and the sirens pass and harmonize
Fires starting every day and night
Burn around us while we're trapped inside
Wouldn't it be nice to play the game without a crooked die?
In a world where you don't have to hide
You don't have to live in a disguise

I said it's enough
I begged and I ran in circles
I climbed to the sun and fell in a concrete jungle
I said it's done
You never know if you'll get what you wish for
I climbed to the sun and I fell, I fell in a concrete jungle
And I'm the fucking king

I want things that money can't buy
The price is pain to make this right
And I could buy a thousand lives
So you can try to kill me but I can't fucking die
Die

I said it's enough
I begged and I ran in circles
I climbed to the sun and fell in a concrete jungle
I said it's done
You never know if you'll get what you wish for
I climbed to the sun and I fell, I fell in a concrete jungle
In a concrete jungle
And I'm the fucking king
