Neal Morse - City of Destruction

Sleep depraved, dawn patrol
My life blood's running circles 'round my soul
All the people in a normal land
Rest while I get a midnight tan

But I...
I just hope I can sleep tonight

How can I shake this stain?
My family thinks that I'm insane like I
Got a vice on my head
My brain goes on like the walking dead

But I ...
From within and without
It just keeps on screaming

You gotta get out of the City of Destruction
Don't wait another day
You gotta get out of the City of Destruction
There is no other way

Why are you grieving so?
Everyone must die some day you know
I can see your trembling hand
You better flee this sun scorched land

Cause I...
I have been to the gate
You'd better not wait

You gotta get out of the City of Destruction
Don't wait another day
You gotta get out of the City of Destruction
There is no other way

You gotta get out of the City of Destruction
Where anger breeds distain
You gotta get out of the City of Destruction
Where pleasure comes with pain

You gotta get out of the City of Destruction
Where anger breeds distain
You gotta get out of the City of Destruction
Where pleasure comes with pain

This is your chance to scape from the corruption
Don't wait another day
You gotta get out of the City of Destruction
There is no other way

I've got rocks in my head
Think I'd rather be dead
I don't know what's really about
Got this rack on my back

Satan's talkin' such smack
All I know is I've got to get out

I've gotta go talk to my wife
She'll help me make sense of this
She'll help me make sense of this
