lyrics

-Stuck-

In this city I will stay
I guess you could say I’m paralyzed in dismay
I guess they could say I’m paralyzed in dismay

Among all the living and the dead
I hope someday I’ll be able to find my place
I hope one day I too will find my place

Cleansing snow covers all the graves
The same snow softly covers every grave
To them it must not matter how they’re laid

All that’s pretty here ends in flames
Every color’s lost to grey
All that’s pretty here can’t be saved
And I fear I’m doomed here to stay

In this city I will stay
I guess you could say I’m paralyzed in dismay
I guess they could say I’m paralyzed in dismay
I guess they could say I’m paralyzed in dismay
I hope not to stay so paralyzed in dismay
