Hello static city
I fell victim to your lights
You crush the breath from my lungs
Steal me away
Goodbye
Goodbye night
The daybreak's coming early
We will pass the world away
This isn't just another page, I swear it
I will write and we will pass these times away
Don't want to be like everybody else and miss my chance
We will pass these tired times

With fading hope and open arms
Hand in hand, we will make it through this life
So paint me black and close my eyes

I can't imagine what it's like to walk alone
Through this gauntlet of deceit
I will never turn my back on you
Burn my hands off once again
And we will make the best of this

[Chorus:]
Fading hope and open arms
Hand in hand, we will make it through this life
So paint me black and close my eyes
The city lights will leave us blind anyway
And we will make it through this

These times call for desperate measures
Strike a match, pull the pin

Hello, static city
I fell victim to...

[Chorus]

The city lights will leave us blind anyway.
