Lyrics

Cities fall And I've been, winding all, these departures, round and round Filling gaps, and making holes, building bridges out of homes How are we supposed to change When we sink further every day We're all sabotaged by our own beliefs Maybe I, maybe I just need some sleep And I've seen cities fall apart Choked in the flames Living amidst white noise Hostages of love held by a voice Cities fall And I know those brick walls, are there to keep thosе out Whose fever liеs before fervour, who sing without stout They say to write drunk and edit sober And that happiness in the seeing, is the rarest thing to know But even Hemingway can't brush the words in A way that makes the dissonance dim And I've seen cities fall apart Choked in the flames Living amidst white noise Hostages of love held by a voice And broken by a siege of undermining seas That wash away the worth and quantify the pleas The belief that a thief wouldn't breathe A word of those words, unwritten on some sleeve The venom invades like a knife, perforating the life And the city crumbles into the dust, the ink sticks to the rust The light flickers violently I hope you find what you're looking for she said I replied with the lines, I wouldn't leave those words unsaid
