Lyrics
The city lights are blinding, a thousand stories lost in time
We trace the ancient lines, ignoring all the warning signs
The dust is settling heavy, a monochrome parade
Of silent, concrete bodies, in the mess that we have made.
And the walls keep closing in, on the life we thought we knew
The fault lines underneath us, breaking me and breaking you.
But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Ah-ooh, ooh. Ah-ooh, ooh.
And if you shut your ears, does it feel like we won't ever fall?
Ah-ooh, ooh. Ah-ooh, ooh.
Where do we begin? The silence or the sound of all our sins?
Ah-ooh, ooh. Ah-ooh, ooh.
We built this modern kingdom, on fragile, shifting ground
With digital distractions, 'til not a soul is found
Trapped in fleeting moments, staring at the screen
Forgetting all the chaos, the place where we have been.
And the fear is rising slowly, a tide we can't ignore
The structures are collapsing, right outside our door.
But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Ah-ooh, ooh. Ah-ooh, ooh.
And if you shut your ears, does it feel like we won't ever fall?
Ah-ooh, ooh. Ah-ooh, ooh.
Where do we begin? The silence or the sound of all our sins?
Ah-ooh, ooh. Ah-ooh, ooh.
The ash begins to cloud the sky
We watch the moments pass us by
Are we just static in a frame?
Calling out each other's name?
But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Ah-ooh, ooh. Ah-ooh, ooh.
And if you shut your ears, does it feel like we won't ever fall?
Ah-ooh, ooh. Ah-ooh, ooh.
Where do we begin? The silence or the sound of all our sins?
Ah-ooh, ooh. Ah-ooh, ooh.
Ah-ooh, ooh. Ah-ooh, ooh.
Ah-ooh, ooh. Ah-ooh, ooh.
