In a place so loud we will never be free Just a slave to a taker, to a man, to a need And I won't go back, I never wanted to leave Just a slave to a taker, will we never be free? In a city so callous with two dead set eyes With a mouth full of Xanax and a handful of time They say what doesn't kill you will just keep you alive And what doesn't kill you In the place you love with all the dogs set free In a future together was never gonna be me Just a slave to a taker, to a man, to a need And I can never go back, I never wanted to leave In a city so callous with two dead set eyes With a mouth full of Xanax and a handful of time They say what doesn't kill you will just keep you alive And what doesn't kill you Always the long way home Always the long way home In the city so callous with two dead set eyes With a mouth full of Xanax and a handful of time They say what doesn't kill you will just get you high And what doesn't kill you
