Under My City Skin

[Verse 1] Scuffed-up shoes on a late-night stair Rust on the rail Paint in my hair Cheap black coffee in a paper cup Name on the wall that they can’t scrub up I know the codes on the busted door I hear my name in the heating roar Pocket full of coins that still feel hot From every little thing that the daylight forgot [Chorus] Underground I breathe like the pipes in the walls Underground My secrets crawl through the halls If you wanna find me Find me out of sight Under my city skin I’m alive at night Underground I’m louder when the world falls quiet [Verse 2] Broken glass crown in a back-lot throne Train line hum in my aging phone Friends in the smoke of a parking lot Laughing through the plans that we never got Posters peel But the names still cling Old first kiss in a loading bay ring Every lost dare Every wrong turn spun Keeps my little dark kingdom run [Chorus] Underground I breathe like the pipes in the walls Underground My secrets crawl through the halls If you wanna find me Find me out of sight Under my city skin I’m alive at night Underground I’m louder when the world falls quiet
