Hello static city I fell victim to your lights You crush the breath from my lungs Steal me away Goodbye Goodbye night The daybreak's coming early We will pass the world away This isn't just another page, I swear it I will write and we will pass these times away Don't want to be like everybody else and miss my chance We will pass these tired times With fading hope and open arms Hand in hand, we will make it through this life So paint me black and close my eyes I can't imagine what it's like to walk alone Through this gauntlet of deceit I will never turn my back on you Burn my hands off once again And we will make the best of this [Chorus:] Fading hope and open arms Hand in hand, we will make it through this life So paint me black and close my eyes The city lights will leave us blind anyway And we will make it through this These times call for desperate measures Strike a match, pull the pin Hello, static city I fell victim to... [Chorus] The city lights will leave us blind anyway.
