I grew up on the promise of the city
A chance to shed my skin, try new shoes
The promise I clung to, it didn't fit me
The city I thought was mine I never knew
Is it simpler to know who you are or who you wanna be?
How can you tell what's fake and what is true?
I don't feel deep down that there's a part of me
That knows what the hell it is I'm supposed to do
Maybe one day I'll know what it feels like to be found
But I chose what I chose
On this godless road will I truly know
The day I am found?
Is this all a symptom of my age
Where all I can do is learn from what I see?
Or is this all symptom of my brain?
If so, I don't see what hope there is for me
I know what lays behind lies within
Though I tend to romanticise yesterday
I wish I could be generous again
I don't know what possess me to be this way
Maybe one day I'll know what it feels like to be found
But I chose what I chose
On this godless road will I truly know
The day I am found?
I grew up on the promise of the city
The promise I clung to, it didn't fit me
