This could be anywhere in the world

This town has its claws
Buried in my neck
This town - it takes lives
Without mercy
Without hate

The streets are in distress
The sun suffocates behind darkened skies

The Grass is growing
On top of my feet
I'm sinking
Wont be long
Before I'm too deep to run

The line up seems endless
Underneath the salvation signs

We are the dead ones
We are the lost cause
We are the bend before the break
Our steps seal our fate

Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts from broken homes
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there's no hope
Left for these souls

Every step I take
I leave a small piece of myself behind
Soon there will be nothing left

The cracks in the pavement
Match the cracks in their weathered skin

The sky's a brick wall
The grounds a juggernaut
Each day they get a bit closer
Between them, I am caught

I stare in amazement I can't believe
this is where I live

Every breath I take
I feel my lungs seal
This breeze feels more like shards of glass
I'm more scars than skin

Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts
From broken homes
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there's no hope
Left for these soul

Our steps seal fate
Our steps seal fate

This is our celebration
Come join the lost souls

This is our celebration
Come join the lost souls

This city this city is haunted

Oh, walk with us, oh
Drown, walk with us

Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts from broken homes
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there's no hope
Left for these souls




I know this really didn't answer the question in my own words per say but I thought of this song immediately when I read the question so that's gotta count for something right? I also think this song well describes where I'd really want to go which is anywhere except where I am right now cause this place is just plain old boring and I'd wanna be someplace that would be a new, exciting experience for me. Actually I would choose to go the the center of the earth with a few of my friends. Below you will see a picture of what that would look like instead of boring you all to tears by explaining it all.
