We reside on different sides
Of a wall too high to scale
So we hide what no one finds
And we dare to die
You lose yourself in the masquerade to wear it like you do
The city bleeds for me and you
And the colours running through
With the silence singing upon your mind
Like we're two souls living in black and white
In the city of light
We die just to dream it
Tonight
We lie just to mean it
Where to hide those blood red skies
From the roses up for sale
Full of light but not enlightened
Like the ghosts we hail
You're losing colour you're losing time
And don't you wonder why (wonder why)
Your river runs but won't run dry
With the storm behind those eyes
With the silence singing upon your mind
Like we're two souls living in black and white
In the city of light
We die just to dream it
Tonight
We lie just to mean it
Sell your soul
Your skin and bones
The city waits for you
Sing it while they lose it all
To wake up like you do
In the city of light
Sell your soul
Your skin and bones
The city waits for you
Sing it while they lose it all
To wake up like you do
In the city of light
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
