I was left to my own devi-i-i-i-ces Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Gray clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices In your pose as the dust settled around us
And the walls kept tumbling down In the city that we love Gray clouds roll over the hills Bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
Oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins? Oh oh where do we begin? The rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down (oh where do we begin?) In the city that we love (the rubble or our sins?) Gray clouds roll over the hills (oh where do we begin?) Bringing darkness from above (the rubble or our sins?)
But if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like Nothing changed at all? And if you close your eyes Does it almost feel like You've been here before? How am I gonna be an optimist about this? How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
