The City Lyrics by Blame It On Whitman

Everything Is Fine..

2020

I woke up this morning with a gun to my head
And I can't believe all of the things that I said
I cut off a couple friends that I kinda regret
And I'm too damn stubborn to go back on it
So I'm one year older but not getting wiser
Still figuring out all my friends are liars
I gotta get away, far from here
And I don't wanna die in the city I grew up in
I don't wanna die in the town where I was born
I don't wanna die in the city I grew up in
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die here
Melatonin every night just to go to sleep
And I'm overridden with anxieties
And I don't think I have the energy
To deal with it today
So I'm one year older and not goin' nowhere
Wonderin' where all my friends went
I gotta get away, far from here 'cause
I don't wanna die in the city I grew up in
I don't wanna die in the town where I was born
I don't wanna die in the city I grew up in
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die
30 deep at the river that night
Should have known that there would be a fight
Donnie was a kid from around the way
Now he's buried by that very lake
I don't wanna die in the city I grew up in
I don't wanna die in the town where I was born
I don't wanna die in the city I grew up in
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die here
