Doomed Cities

Well, we are both here to suffer each other
And we're both here to live a lie
Yeah, we're both here to leave all our lovers
And we're both here to damn our pride

The cathedral steps
Choke me out
As I watch them gather snow
They don't want me here
And the sunset world's about to end
And covers with dust
The trains you take to leave

The trains you take to leave
The pains you take to leave these

Doomed cities
Doomed cities
Adrift again
In these
You say, "We're getting older
Under bridges
And too old
To fall off ledges"
We don't know how to need each other
Enough to stay

I mention the addict
But I'm not sure
Who I'm even lamenting
The loss of anymore
These lovers dissolve
Into pixels and gin
And powders
To dust our problems up again

I'm too tired for all of you
And I guess that's okay
'Cause I missed the window to be
A pretty tragedy

We're both here to suffer each other
And we're both here to live a lie

Doomed cities
Doomed cities
Preserved pristine
Beneath these
We poison our nights
And fracture our ties
Because we don't know
How to need each other
Enough to stay

But maybe it's not the cities
That are doomed
Because we carry in our chests
Our own tombs
But I still don't understand these
Lives on demand these
Dripping wet hands
That reach for nothing

Doomed cities
Doomed cities
Slip away
From these
We poison our nights
And fracture the ties
Our voices cut out before
We can say goodbye
