Parallel Strain - City Of Broken Glass Lyrics

Walking in the neighborhood, stone jungle surrounds me
Broken society, people thrown into the streets (streets)
Violence ruling on every corner, darkness prevails
Deep inside, everything is shattered like glass (oh-oh)

Fragile beauty, so delicate yet so prominent
I wonder when this nightmare will come to an end (end)
They give no chance, blinded by ignorance and fear
Reality unknown, they fail to truly see (oh-oh)

In the city of broken glass, hearts shattered like fragments (fragments)
Lost souls wandering, fighting against the darkness
But I hold on to hope, believing in a better day (better day)
United we stand, in this broken city we're gonna find a way (find a way)(oh-oh)

In a world so complex, they want to change our souls
Transform us into paws, they try to take control (oh-oh)
But deep inside, we see the truth, we won't be fooled
We won't let them break us down, we won't play by their rules (no-no)

We'll rise above the darkness, like a phoenix in the sky (oh-oh)
Shattering the glass, we break free and we defy (yeah-yeah)
Their kingdom may be mighty, but our spirits won't subside
We'll rise and shine, together we'll take back our lives (our lives)

This city may seem strong, but it's fragile to the core
Rotten souls controlling, they keep us wanting more (oh-oh)
But underneath the surface, the truth begins to show
We won't be held down, we'll rise and let it go (let it go)(yeah-yeah)
