Lyrics
I lie where cities sleep but I'm not sleeping yet
The singer is awake despite being in a city where most people are asleep.
'Cause I'm crying out for comfort underneath my beating chest
Expressing a need for comfort while feeling emotional turmoil.
Now I'm looking up for guidance, pushed around by
Seeking guidance after being influenced by those who promote violence.
Those who love the violence, and it haunts me yeah
Feeling haunted by the impact of violence from others.
Oh if I were to leave would it be okay
Questioning the consequences of leaving, wondering if it would be acceptable.
'Cause I know
Assuming an understanding of the situation.
Some people are loud, there's no other way for you to work it out no, no
Describing different approaches people take to resolve their issues.
And if you're feeling that way
Encouraging acknowledgment of feeling overwhelmed.
I hope that you know that it is okay
Reassuring that feeling a certain way is acceptable.
Some people won't grow, there's no other way for you to let them know no, no
Accepting that some individuals may not change and finding a way to communicate with them.
And if you don't wanna stay
Allowing freedom to choose whether to stay or leave.
I hope that you know that it is okay
Reiterating that it's acceptable to make a choice about staying or leaving.
Outside these four walls, they pull apart your soul
External influences causing emotional distress and fracturing one's inner self.
When you get the guts to leave suddenly they love you more
Noticing that leaving a situation can make others appreciate you more.
Your conscience pulls you back once more for the wild ride
Feeling pulled back into a situation by conscience despite its chaotic nature.
But you don't owe that fucker any more time
Rejecting the obligation to invest more time in a harmful situation.
Oh if I were to leave would it be okay
Continuing the contemplation about the acceptability of leaving.
'Cause I know

Some people love to start wars and they don't plan to stop
Observing that some people thrive on conflict and have no intention of ceasing.
Some people scream to drown you out
Expressing how some individuals use loudness or aggression to silence others.
And I can't be fucked remembering
Choosing not to invest effort in recalling past negative experiences.
All of the things you did
Deciding not to dwell on past actions or behaviors.
And I don't mind forgetting what we knew
Being open to forgetting things from the past.
But I know
