I was on the outside
I was looking in
Like a deer in the headlights
Stuck in slow motion
Like I was on the turnpike

No ability to steer
Can´t shake the feeling I´m starting to disappear

I´m weighed down in this city
It´s hard to live here, and I´m feeling restless
There´s this battle raging in me
Don´t want to love you anymore
But I can´t help it

I was on the outside
Like we were at the cinema
Your face was hidden
Behind the camera
I think I love you
More than I´d admit
And I wasn´t prepared to be seeing you like this

And I´m weighed down in this city

It´s hard to live here, and I´m feeling restless
There´s this battle raging in me
Don´t want to love you anymore
But I can´t help it

And between you and me
This city´s slowly poisoning me
And as I rip into it´s scales
It rots beneath my fingernails
And when I try to claw out of the pit
All I do is get sucked back in
Don´t want to love you anymore
But I can´t help it

And I´m weighed down in this city
And I´m feeling restless
There´s this battle raging in me
Don´t want to love you anymore

But I can´t help it
