Mid Town's streets were cold as stone
The kind of place where dreams don't grow
You hear the whispers late at night
Shadows move beneath the streetlight
The old church bells ring out of tune
A boy gets lost beneath the moon
And the air is thick with fear and lies
In Mid Town, hope just barely survives
In Mid Town, the nights are long
You pray to survive but you live all wrong
Where the dark runs deep, and the silence stings
Mid Town's got chains no one can unstring
Yeah, growing up in Mid Town wasn't a game
You knew the players but never their names
The Mafia ran the show, pulled all the strings
Money talks, blood sings, and silence brings
Deals in the alley, fists in the fight
Guns in the shadows, no heroes in sight
We learned to run before we could crawl
'Cause in Mid Town, the weak ones fall
They'd sell you a dream, then take it away
Smoke-filled bars where the devils play
We'd see our fathers lose every bet
And pray to a God who hadn't helped yet
In Mid Town, the nights are long
You pray to survive but you live all wrong
Where the dark runs deep, and the silence stings
Mid Town's got chains no one can unstring
I used to stare at the skyline's edge
Wondering if I'd ever leave this mess
But every time I'd take one step
Mid Town would pull me back in its depths
A life of crime, a life of fear
Lost friends I'll never see again here
Johnny tried to leave, but the price was steep
They found his car in the river deep
Mama told me keep my head down low
But the scars in her eyes, they already showed
She worked three jobs just to keep the lights
While the Mafia thrived in the dead of night
We had no heroes, no saving grace
Just the cold steel bars of this dark place
But still, I dreamt of a day I'd fly
Far from the town where the angels die
In Mid Town, the nights are long
You pray to survive but you live all wrong
Where the dark runs deep, and the silence stings
Mid Town's got chains no one can unstring
But I won't let it define my name
Won't let Mid Town's fire fuel my shame
I'll rise from the ashes, break this curse
Mid Town's story won't end in a hearse
In Mid Town, where dreams don't grow
I'll find my way, I'll make it so
A life worth living beyond the pain
Mid Town, you won't hold me again

Mid Town's streets were cold as stone
The kind of place where dreams don't grow
You hear the whispers late at night
Shadows move beneath the streetlight
The old church bells ring out of tune
A boy gets lost beneath the moon
And the air is thick with fear and lies
In Mid Town, hope just barely survives
In Mid Town, the nights are long
You pray to survive but you live all wrong
Where the dark runs deep, and the silence stings
Mid Town's got chains no one can unstring
Yeah, growing up in Mid Town wasn't a game
You knew the players but never their names
The Mafia ran the show, pulled all the strings
Money talks, blood sings, and silence brings
Deals in the alley, fists in the fight
Guns in the shadows, no heroes in sight
We learned to run before we could crawl
'Cause in Mid Town, the weak ones fall
They'd sell you a dream, then take it away
Smoke-filled bars where the devils play
We'd see our fathers lose every bet
And pray to a God who hadn't helped yet
In Mid Town, the nights are long
You pray to survive but you live all wrong
Where the dark runs deep, and the silence stings
Mid Town's got chains no one can unstring
I used to stare at the skyline's edge
Wondering if I'd ever leave this mess
But every time I'd take one step
Mid Town would pull me back in its depths
A life of crime, a life of fear
Lost friends I'll never see again here
