I try to wrap my brain around this The very fact that this could be the end Staggering man, you could ruin everything If you only knew the dance, yeah We try to pick up all the pieces of our city But you just turn away, in the blaze of gray Clearly I could see you giving up And it kills me to watch you turn your face on us You just turned away You looked back, but you were never the same 'Cause you stepped back when you had the chance to leave But you still blame us like we did this But you did 'cause our town has fallen under the sound And I can't stand to watch you turn away (turn away) And clearly I could see right where you are Our systems disarmed And waving your arms all the way down (all the way down) Slipping under the sound again I tried to hear the way it sounded We died inside, with your body you ground it Spilled across the floor, slipping under the shade They are here, you can't stop the sound Of the city falling under ground Of the city falling under ground You can stop the sound You can stop the sound (you can stop the sound) Of the city falling under ground Of the city falling underground You looked back, but you were never the same 'Cause you stepped back when you had the chance to leave While the city is burning (the city is burning) The shadow takes our lives with it (with it) The fire spreads like a plague While the city is burning (The city is burning) The shadow takes our lives with it Takes our lives with them
