one day in new york city it began
i felt myself collapse and start again
i knew that moment this would never end
i knew the world would never understand

calling out
can you hear me?
there's no response
so alone
can you not feel me recovering
i will separate and become strong again
but won't ever forget how this feels

one day in new york city it began
i felt myself collapse and start again
i knew that moment this would never end
i knew the world would never understand

holding on
alive but barely
where are you now?
overwhelmed
the feelings in me
are shattering
i will disconnect
and become pure again
but won't ever forget how this feels

one day in new york city
one day in new york city
one day in new york city
one day in new york city
