City is the 11th and last track on Morbid Stuff, released by PUP on the 5th of April 2019. The song is very different to the rest of album as it is quite unnerving and more soft in comparison to other songs. The solemness only escalates the themes of feeling stuck both in the city and in a relations...
[Verse 1]
I was on the outside
I was lookin' in like a deer in the headlights
Stuck in slow motion like I was on the turnpike
No ability to steer
Can't shake the feeling I'm starting to disappear
[Chorus]
I'm weighed down in this city
It's hard to live here
And I've been feelin' restless
There's this battle ragin' in me
Don't wanna love you anymore
But I can't help it
[Verse 2]
I was on the outside
Like we were at the cinema
Your face was hidden
Behind the camera
I think I love you
More than I'd admit
And I was not prepared
To be seein' you like this
[Chorus]
And I'm weighed down in this city
It's hard to live here
And I've been feelin' restless
There's this battle ragin' in me
Don't wanna love you anymore
But I can't help it
[Breakdown]
And between you and me
This city's been slowly poisoning me
And I'll rip deeper into its scales, it
Rots beneath my fingernails, and
When I try to claw out of the pit
All I do is get sucked back in
Don't wanna love you anymore
But I just can't help it
[Chorus]
And I'm weighed down in this city
And I've been feelin' restless
This battle is ragin' in me
Don't wanna love you anymore
But I can't help it
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
I'm weighed down in this city
Don't wanna love you anymore
