Silver City

The glass signs on glass stacks
The long lines and half steps
Choked by traffic
Chaos swirls outside of you
From false skin to fine lace
Your sly grin fills subspace
Are these humans?
These are not humans, but they are

Guys like me can't escape
From the silver city
But with you I've found the gate
Guys like me can't escape
From the silver city
But with you I've found the gate

From rooftops to ground floors
When cogs stop, gears keep score
Ghosts come haunting
Ghosts keep hunting after you
The thought crimes and false facts
The long lines to smokestacks
I will fight them
I will fight them next to you

Guys like me can't escape
From the silver city
(Guys like me can't escape)
But with you I've found the gate
Guys like me can't escape
From the silver city
(Guys like me can't escape)
But with you I've found the gate
They built gold monuments brick-by-brick
Which fell in a moment with a click, click, click
Until quiet
Don't fear the quiet inside of you

Guys like me can't escape
From the silver city
(They built gold monuments brick-by-brick)
But with you I've found the gate
(Which fell in a moment with a click, click, click)
Guys like me can't escape
From the silver city
(They built gold monuments brick-by-brick)
But with you I've found the gate
(Which fell in a moment with a click, click, click)
Guys like me can't escape
From the silver city
But with you I've found the gate
