The City {Nex​:​Type Mix} Lyrics by Dr. Carmilla

2012

I've walked all around the city
All the places you and I went
This is not bittersweet
It is thoroughly tainted
I could try to reclaim it
For me and future loves
But my mechanism's broken
I'll never be clean enough
I am a firecracker disguised as a girl
I am a self-hating predator
Yet for every song of trouble that I sing
There are more prey waiting in the wings
You know I'd choose death if I weren't permanent
I've never been good at commitment
I could run away, but I'd never escape
My ID, my need, this waste
I walk all around the city
To survey the damage I have done
Broken hearts on every street corner
And yours is the loudest one
Still I'll stay here in the city
If just to assert my right
I won't give up these willing victims
Not without a fight
I am a firecracker disguised as a girl
I am a self-hating predator
Yet for every song of trouble that I sing
There are more prey waiting in the wings
You know I'd choose death if I weren't permanent
I've never been good at commitment
I could run away, but I'd never escape
My ID, my need, this waste
I am a firecracker disguised as a girl
I am a self-hating predator
Yet for every song of trouble that I sing
There are more prey waiting in the wings
You know I'd choose death if I weren't permanent
I've never been good at commitment
I could run away, but I'd never escape
My ID, my need, this waste
