City in My Veins

Rain lights bleeding on the avenue Half-lit cigarette, thinking about you You fade out inside another crowd Like you were never mine somehow White lines blur beneath the midnight glow I keep moving with nowhere to go City in my veins Quiet fire, steady flame You’re the rush beneath my skin Calling me back again I try to let you fade But you stay inside my veins City in my veins And it won’t wash away Ghost reflections running through the train Every window throws back your name Losing pieces with the passing hours While the skyline swallows what was ours Bass drums shaking through my chest tonight Everybody’s searching for a different high City in my veins Quiet fire, steady flame You’re the rush beneath my skin Calling me back again I try to let you fade But you stay inside my veins City in my veins And it won’t wash away Blue apartments, static in the air Your shadow still hangs everywhere Between the sirens, smoke, and glass I watch our old selves fading fast If tomorrow disappears in haze Maybe the night still keeps our shape City in my veins Now the silence says your name I’m learning how to lose you But you’re underneath it all City in my veins Still glowing after dark
