skyscraper soul

everyone knows it

try not to show it

this city can bring you down

i'm a believer some days are hard

but

i couldn't leave this town

i got a skyscraper soul

like a flower that comes where the sun never goes

skyscraper soul

filling my heart where there once was a hole

look out my window

watching the sun go down

on the crowds below

i know the struggle

weaving through trouble

life can be hard

i know

i got a skyscraper soul

there's mud in my veins and there's steel in my bones

skyscraper soul

building it all up from water and stones

look through the market stalls

over broken walls

to this hollowed ground

looks are deceiving

there's a heart beating

here in this battered town

'cause i got a skyscraper soul

like a flower that comes where the sun never goes

skyscraper soul

filling it all up with water and stones

i've got a skyscraper soul

there's mud in my veins and there's steel in my bones

skyscraper soul

brushing the rust off and losing control
