Lives Like the City Lyrics

When I close my eyes all I can see

Are the lights of the cities where I came to be

A broken voice echoes through crowded streets

What if I didn't turn out as who you wanted me to be

My mind goes numb from trying to believe

As the sound of a thought drowns in the rubble of unfulfilled dreams

My body shakes violently as emotions creep from within

Filling its longing so the cycle can begin

What if things began the same way they ended

A voice calls out in the city's dream

Those endless stories, they live like the city

Brought to life by hearts unfolding

In front of your eyes, it lives like the city

Dreams of movement followed by blurry lights

Bring this world back to life

As windows fog up, our fingers lay out the rest of our lives

As the rising sun shakes us awake

We crave for more as we're forced back into the game

Just like pawns, we rise and fall

Fulfilling its desire for balance, we even the score

We are, we're connected, but are we one

Never closer, yet so far apart

A voice calls out in the city's dream

Those endless stories, they live like the city

Brought to life by hearts unfolding

In front of your eyes, it lives like the city

A voice calls out in the city's dream

Those endless stories, they live like the city

Brought to life by hearts unfolding

In front of your eyes, it lives like the city

It lives like the city
