Lyrics Alexisonfire – This Could Be Anywhere In The World

George
This town has its claws buried in my neck
This town, it takes lives, without mercy, without hate

Dallas

George
The grass is growing on top of my feet
I’m sinking, won’t be long, before I’m too deep to run

Dallas
The line up seems endless
Underneath the salvation signs.

George
We are the dead ones, we are the lost cause
We are the bend before the break. Our steps seal our fate.

Chorus

Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there’s no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls).

George
Every step I take I leave a small piece
Of myself behind. Soon there will be nothing left.

Dallas
The cracks in the pavement,
Match the cracks in their weathered skin

George
The sky’s a brick wall
The ground’s a juggernaut
Each day they get a bit closer

Dallas
I stare in amazement,
I can’t believe this is where I live.

George
Every breath I take I feel my lungs seal
This breeze feels more like shards of glass I’m more scars than skin

Chorus:
Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there’s no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls).

George
Our steps seal fate, our steps seal fate.

This is our celebration
Come join the lost souls
x2

Dallas
This city, this city is haunted.

George
Oh! Walk with us. Oh! Down. Walk with us.

Chorus

This city, this city is haunted
By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes)
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there’s no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls).
