Lights ft. Natalie SynthV Lyrics

As a child I heard stories of those now gone

They were strong, they sailed the seas

And they found a home

I always wondered why would they look for something

They have and why they'd carry on

Oh, I've had to let it go, how was I supposed to know

I too would have to roam?

This could be the last day

Carpet is an ashtray

And there are no walls to hold the ceiling

Hot bones building up in the halls

Silently I fall down, kneeling

LIghts above my head

Tonight I play dead

Shivers running down my spine

As I'm pierced by the eyes of somebody of my kind

And the eyes are blind

Howls above my head

Will there be an end?

I'm staring at a broken sun,

And I know I should better run

Glares. And then I'm deaf

Parachutes have no use if you never land

In the end, everything perishes by someone's command

Whizzing, sirens, hopes in dissonance

Damp walls indicate the imminence

Of what was apparent all along

Bulbs are glowing dimmer

Almost to a shimmer

I'm just sitting there, trying to stop trembling

Rain falls, leaves behind sinkholes

Mixes with the crimson

And I wish that I never had to see

The lights from shadowlands

Ears behind my hands. Oh

Never had a heart of stone

Yet, always so alone

Is it my turn to atone?

If so, then what for?

Howls above my head

Will there be an end?

If there was a chance to escape

Would I go? Or would I just forsake

The ones I'd be leaving behind?

I wish I could know
