If you look out at the skyline From far enough away The city's just a row of broken teeth Its rumbling and it's growling It festers and decays But I still hear it calling out for me I thought my debts were settled That some rules had been enforced As a bead of sweat starts rolling down my cheek I was good at treating symptoms But I never found the source So these voices might not ever let me be But I know I'm never gonna break If I can find you at the end of every day They'll say I don't have what it takes I just won't let go of what it takes away What it takes away I coulda been a contender But I burned a bit too bright Until I couldn't take another swing I kept up w the training But I've given up the fight And now I'm being forced back in the ring I know I'm never gonna break If I can find you at the end of every day They'll say I don't have what it takes I just won't let go of what it takes away What it takes away What it takes away What it takes away What it takes away What it takes away What it takes away
