Bright City Kids

(album: The Apparition - 2009)

I confess, I confess
That sometimes I lie
Put a ribbon on your box
Of empty promises, promises
I prefer to rebel
And to burn in hell
Cuz if killing you is wrong
I don't wanna be right

If the world is against us
Then we'll blow it away
If the world is against us
Then we'll blow it away

Oh youth, come and flood these streets
All filled with deceit
The minds of bright city kids
Know who you are, gotta know who you are
You gotta know yourself first

Switch a blade, pull the trigger
Just to feel alive
Always feeding off the rush
A brave front cover
Fallen angels running blind
Another pill won't hurt
An escape, a release
I'm delivered

If the world is against us
Then we'll blow it away
If the world is against us
Then we'll blow it away

Oh youth, come and flood these streets
All filled with deceit
The minds of bright city kids
Know who you are, gotta know who you are
You gotta know yourself first
Know yourself first
You gotta know yourself first
You gotta know yourself first
You gotta know yourself first

So I pray, so I pray
To believe in god
When all your luck runs out
Then that's all you got
And I pray and I pray
To believe in god
When all your faith is dead
Then you're all you got

If the world is against us
Then we'll blow it away
If the world is against us
Then we'll blow it away

Oh youth, come and flood these streets
All filled with deceit
The minds of bright city kids
Know who you are, gotta know who you are
You gotta know yourself first

Oh youth, come and flood these streets
All filled with deceit
The minds of bright city kids
Know who you are, gotta know who you are
You gotta know yourself first
Know yourself first
You gotta know yourself first
You gotta know yourself first
You gotta know yourself first
