[Verse 1]
C G C
Lost in the valley of malls
C G C
The kids are all eating themselves
C G Am Amadd9
Living on capsules and balls
C G C
Thinking that there’s nowhere else at all
[Verse 2]
C G C
Flicking a match in the sky
C G C
Turning my back on my own
C G Am Amadd9 C
Finally the bottle’s bone dry, with a message inside
G C
That says that I’m gone

I’m a dull boy with a dead dream

The city’s shrinking down

I think it’s time to leave this town
C G Am
Pulling out while there’s still time
C G Am
Littered all my memories behind

The statues win so let them have it

Whatever was now is in ashes

There isn’t anymore room here for me
