City on Fire

All the songs I love are written by people who fade away
How can I trust anyone when they just want their own way?
Silence isn't golden when it's time to have something to say
We are just kids, wide open and vulnerable
In a city on fire burning out of control

One by one we fall until there's no one left to lead the way
We thought they would save us but our dreams were all naïveté
Every single lie became an ember that went up in flames
We are just kids, wide open and vulnerable
In a city on fire burning out of control

This is the breakdown
Of all we thought was safe for us
A place for us
Home to us
Do we even know how to let go?

The wind carries us to the edge of the wilderness
'Exiled Outliers' tattooed upon our flesh
But the desert is a refuge when the city is burning down
We are just kids, wide open and vulnerable
In a city on fire burning out of control

This is the breakdown
Of all we thought was safe for us
A place for us
Home to us
Do we even know how to let go?
'Cause we can't go back

Oh, torn apart
Oh, unraveling
Oh, can't go back
Oh, we need a
Oh
Oh, unraveling
Oh
Oh, can't go back

The flames are the way forward
The flames are the way

We need a breakdown
Before we start to build again
So can we just let go
