Grey City is the 11th song on 'New Places' by The Sunset Vibe.
lyrics
So tell me, tell me where I'm going
I can't see ahead and I can't hear either
Yeah, teach me, teach me all your wisdom
I just want to know
I've been running around this town again
Looking for a father looking for a friend
The rain drops fall right through my soul
Like a crack head looking for another bowl
I see the buildings piercing through the sky
A million angry men living in a lie
A small boy looking for his lost dog
But It's impossible to see through all this fog
My steps start to feel heavy again
I don't ask myself where, I ask myself when
Cause the ticking of a clock is frightening
With tears of rain, these buildings are all crying
They just want to leave, just want to be free
But they know that's just a dream, a distant memory
I walk up to one and say it'll be okay
But he knows I said the same thing yesterday
I try to go inside but the doors locked
I reach into my pocket and pull out a clock
I look at the time, 3:15 it says
Only 3 hours till I go to bed
I start to panic, I start to sweat
I touch my hair, it's soaking wet
Is it from the sweat or from the rain
I try to keep calm try to fight the pain
but It creeps up on me from behind
I take out my clock and press rewind
But it's too late, the cities turned dark
Not a single tree left, not a single park
I look for an exit to escape this mess
But it's hard to see through this brick of stress
I fall to my knees, my worlds turned grey
look up at the stars and say
So tell me, tell me where I'm going
I can't see ahead and I can't hear either
Yeah, teach me, teach me all your wisdom
I just want to know
Can you try
to teach me how yeah teach me how to fight
Cause I don't know where I'm sleeping tonight
I tried so hard to find a different song
But I don't even know which song I'm on
Tell me tell me where I'm going
I just want to know
Ask me Ask me what I'm thinking
I'll tell you what I know
Show me show me a good feeling
Take me to the show
Tell me tell me where I'm going
I just wanna know
