James Ingram
Red City
[Verse 1]
Until the pages of this book are filled
With emptiness
I'm still suspended by a thread
Expecting nothing less
I feel my kindred little ways...
I know how my story ends

[Chorus]
Like me...
It's not your gift to choose
I know you're going to lose
Like me...
This futile circumstance
You never had a chance
Like me...

[Verse 2]
I'm here
Walking in a city that is red again
I'm here
Living with the dead again
Knowing why I'm here again

[Chorus]
Like me...
It's not your gift to choose
I know you're going to lose
Like me...
This futile circumstance
You never had a chance
Like me...
[Verse 3]
I can't stay here forever
The hell is, I just can't remember
I see myself in desperation
The cyanide of realization
I fall...
I fall...

[Chorus]
Like me...
It's not your gift to choose
I know you're going to lose
Like me...
This futile circumstance
You never had a chance
Like me...
