Lie to me of days gone by
As neon lights, they linger
Cast aside prophetic skylines
Making way for empty
Soulless vistas, all devouring light
The shroud of grey
Confronted by a fathomless paper sky
Feast your eyes, there's no end in sight
Scattered shards of a vibrant day gone astray
End the days of no surrender
All the faith that passed you by
Say goodbye to toxic wonder
Cross your heart and hope to stay alive
So keep us restless and world-weary, homeward-bound
We pray for a calm, without the almighty requisite storm
But that's so cliché
Like the ghost of a distant summer
I think it's time to let go
Powdered wings on the empty doorstep
Show me what you really know
But these roads don't lead anywhere I want to go
But home
And the grey feels like everything I've ever known
City lights cast shadow vistas stretching on and on
So far and wide
Like a tempest, wild and reckless
Spreading fire from the earth
Into the plain and vacant sky
