lyrics

Lyrics:

Streets are so bright
in the middle of the night.
Am I losing my mind?
Or is everyone blind?
Walking through the city,
looking oh so pretty,
with make-ups and halos,
but all bland and shallow.

There's only a fright,
in the middle of a night,
while checking your stories,
and counting your worries.
When I walk through city,
All I feel is pity.
Spit it out or swallow,
‘cause you are so hollow.

My nightmare is living in you,
and I feel it’s haunting me too.
You don’t see that it’s killing me, killing you, killing you.
My nightmare is living in you,
and I feel it’s haunting me too.
You’re making my nightmare come true.

Pulsing of the city
is a drumbeat of my heart,
rain is an orchestra,
the best that you can find.
I’m alive in this moment,
and all those yet to come,
I’m alive with the music,
till the end of time.

Everybody's still pressing on me.
They all think it's them that can see.
You all live in your boring cages,
but this prison you built is not for me.
Streets are so bright
in the middle of the night.
Am I losing my mind?
Or is everyone blind?
Walking through the city,
looking oh so pretty,
with make-ups and halos,
...just shallow.

Eternity passes in the blink of an eye,
all of you waiting, just waiting to die,
all of you waiting, eating it all,
eating it all, eating it all, until you fall.
