Lazaretto

Stepping out of the dark
Feel the lightning on my pale skin
Crawlin' out my cage that wraps these walls I'm trapped in
But you don't even know the half of it
They take the power try to bleed us out
So hold your spark until the torch is lit
And when the tower falls we'll hold our ground

Welcome to the city of your dreams, love
Where everything is never how it seems, honey
Your rulers run the river red
The night grows colder again

All our friends are disappearing
All my life I've been so wrong
We've been holding up this city
While they're sitting on their thrones
All the people they are greedy
And the kids are not alright
You are not my masters
We will be the bump in the night
But you don't even know the half of it
They take the power try to bleed us out
So hold your spark until the torch is lit
And when the tower falls we'll hold our ground

Welcome to the city of your dreams, love
Where everything is never how it seems, honey
Your Rulers run the river red
The night grows cold

So cold
The night grows so cold
Colors fade from view
The halls are grey ahead
Plastic flowers will decay
Never to bloom again
I can't find the exit
They have blurred the lines
The shadow on the wall
It follows me, it isn't mine
No more star-shine left to light my windowsill
So tell me where's my mind and where did all the time go
Still I swear they're gonna kill me
I think I'm in too deep
I'll leave you with this message if they take me in my sleep

Welcome to the city of your dreams, love
Where everything is never how it seems, honey
Your rulers run the river red
The night grows cold
