about

The title speaks for itself. Watching the city you love fall deeper and deeper into decline, and feeling helpless to do anything about it. It was written with Baltimore in mind, but unfortunately could be about any major city in this country.

lyrics

Skirt the ray of sunlight
It may unveil who you are
Masquerade in twilight
And keep your soul inside a jar

Homicide in season
Mourn the city from afar
Searching for a reason
No discerning who we are

No regard for others
Zero value in a life
Streets been overtaken
So hide your kids and hide your wife

Homicide in season
Mourn the city from afar
Searching for a reason
No discerning who we are

Stay left. Stay right
Stay left. Stay right. Divide

Turn the vicious circle
How to stop? Where to begin?
From the high rise watching
Full of pride and full of sin

Homicide in season
Mourn the city from afar
Searching for a reason
No discerning who we are
