Testo Leaving New York - B. Dolan feat. Alias

Testo della canzone Leaving New York (B. Dolan feat. Alias), tratta dall'album Fallen House Sunken City

6:05 Brooklyn Bridge

Failed and tongue-tied

Body aching, hands shaking

Bloody inside

I'm still alive

Sunrise like a pillar of fire

Still running like the static on a blank channel

Sunk into the bottom of the barrel of a gun

Gun braced against the railing

Looking straight into the sun

Like I was waiting for someone to burn a picture in my mind

Like I could recite scriptures off the lids of my eyes

Fishing in the East River for a reason to die

Voices whispered in my mind

I believed they were mine

Another pilgrim come to find that the bridge is a lie

And there's nothing on the other side

I was told to pick my battles

This isn't my war

My fight is with myself

I'm leaving New York

I was told to pick my battles

This isn't my war

My fight is with myself

I'm leaving New York

I was told to pick my battles

This isn't my war

My fight is with myself

I'm leaving New York

I was told to pick my battles

Leave

Leaving my pre-rug in the apartment off at Carlin Court

In constant paranoia, coughing someone's jagged hallelujah

Buildings like a burning cross

Withdrawn to drive north

All five boroughs fall

Listen, listen through the walls

Born into this funeral

News report from City Hall

Subway station FDR

Tank cigars, riot squad

Moving of the violent mob

Partisan, fall apart

Dusting in the dark

Watching the war start

How long they gonna send us to the deserts of Mars?

Where we'll die or go crazy with our legs blown off

Don't wanna suffocate in space

Far God in the state face off

Flags waving in the grey dawn

Better to break law

I was told to pick my battles

This isn't my war

My fight is with myself

I'm leaving New York

I was told to pick my battles

This isn't my war

My fight is with myself

I'm leaving New York

I was told to pick my battles

This isn't my war

My fight is with myself

I'm leaving New York

I was told to pick my battles

Leave

I left New York

I was younger then, but not that much younger

I too suffered for my art

Now it's your turn

I never found solid ground but slept in a burning bed

There's a couple landlords with a bounty on my head

Never learned to bend my neck or to worship the dead

Metro card expired, hopper turned styling and chant

Was I a coward to abandon the broken down mechanics

And crown Biggie Smalls as the king of Atlantis?

Like trees to branches, cliffs to avalanches

The sea in which he vanished

Lost kingdom of Jay-Z and Def Jam cannibals

Beating the dead break on the decks of the Titanic

I am it but I can't fit

So when the sky fell I felt like one of the guilty

With the populace in lockstep ready to come and kill me

Depraved and demolished in buildings that rust and rot

Beneath the Hudson

All of it flooded up and sunken

All of it came to nothing and the devil's still running

And the devil's still running

I was told to pick my battles

This isn't my war

My fight is with myself

I'm leaving New York

I was told to pick my battles

This isn't my war

My fight is with myself

I'm leaving New York

I was told
