The City Songtext
von Ballast

A river dried by sunlight
Splits my soul in two
Take a moment to find
Where you are heading to

New place, different life
Greed holds the thirsty knife
Hold your breath ′cause nothing
Is what it looks like

But I call it home


A hundred thousand streets in this city
Lights look so pretty in the dark
They hide violence inside
(I dare you to go out at night)
It's gonna take some time
For you and me to read between the lines
To read between

Frustrated
Your odds are quite bad
Drive slow or walk fast
With a mask for your lungs

Here′s built what dreams are made of
Magic and pollution in equal parts
Where I made stress my best pal
Is where I'm willing to kill for

But I might die alone


A hundred thousand streets in this city
Lights look so pretty in the dark
They hide violence inside
(I dare you to go out at night)
It's gonna take some time
For you and me to read between the lines
To read between the lines
