Paradigm City

The sun'll never rise in this city
 It's all facades and bright lights
 Skyscrapers watching, it's a Gotham-like Christ
 We just slosh through nice sights though
 I swear to God it's psycho
 The amnesia capital, It's Paradigm City
 Kicking drinks back, please share your mind with me
 They rob me of a narrative, nothing to compare me with
 Cast in the name of God, ye not guilty
 I'm afraid of these machines, I'm scared they might stop humming
 The oxygen is fake, but shit it might stop pumping
 See, ghosts do exist, they flow through my fist
 But holographic memory's the most you could get
 I swear I never knew my father, he never tried to take me out
 A mother's breast milk is binary to a bank account
 I'll never have a daughter, a son'll never come
 That cold blank stare is the closest thing I have to love
 I put these pieces together, but shit, my puzzle full of holes
 Draw my legacy, I trace the structure of a rose
 These trees ain't real, so why the fuck I trust 'em?
 Smoke fill the room without a source of clear combustion and we choke
 Choke on everything that we had once considered hope
 I feel this lump is in my throat, put me down
 I'm in a man-made monster, trapped inside the walls of where a man can't wander
 Let me go
 And I can't see outside these walls, I can't see outside these walls
 And I can't see outside these walls, I can't see outside these walls
 And I can't see outside these walls, I can't see outside these walls
