Description I am hunting for hope
In the middle of the city
Where the dead and the living embrace

And I feed on the sin
Of the vanity and pity
Oh, please never let me leave this place

As I'm having my fill
Of the failure and dreaming
I drown further down in this mire

Every ethic has a pill
So forget that you're filthy
Bare your teeth for your dirty desire

I am hunting for more
In the middle of the city
I am plagued by the deadly disease

Now I'm dead in my skin
And the hunger's persisting
And this nightmare is swallowing my dreams

And I fight for my life
Every night in the city
My empire was built out of air

And I scream and I shout
But nobody can hear me
Is there anyone for me out there?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Guess it’s not as they say
There’s no love in the city
And my dreams have all faded away

Take your soul out to die
Yes, the lights are deceiving
Welcome son, and enjoy your stay

This has a very musical quality about it, while I was reading it i could almost hear paramore singing it in my head.
