Lazaretto (Single) Lyrics

Stepping out of the dark

Feel the lightning on my pale skin

Crawlin' out my cage that wraps these walls I'm trapped in

But you don't even know the half of it

They take the power try to bleed us out

So hold your spark until the torch is lit

And when the tower falls we'll hold our ground

Welcome to the city of your dreams, love

Where everything is never how it seems, honey

Your rulers run the river red

The night grows colder again

All our friends are disappearing

All my life I've been so wrong

We've been holding up this city

While they're sitting on their thrones

All the people they are greedy

And the kids are not alright

You are not my masters

We will be the bump in the night

But you don't even know the half of it

They take the power try to bleed us out

So hold your spark until the torch is lit

And when the tower falls we'll hold our ground

Welcome to the city of your dreams, love

Where everything is never how it seems, honey

Your Rulers run the river red

The night grows cold

So cold

The night grows so cold

Colors fade from view

The halls are grey ahead

Plastic flowers will decay

Never to bloom again

I can't find the exit

They have blurred the lines

The shadow on the wall

It follows me, it isn't mine

No more star-shine left to light my windowsill

So tell me where's my mind and where did all the time go

Still I swear they're gonna kill me

I think I'm in too deep

I'll leave you with this message if they take me in my sleep

Welcome to the city of your dreams, love

Where everything is never how it seems, honey

Your rulers run the river red

The night grows cold
