We paced these halls when I was young
If walls could talk, they'd speak of love
Now cold and calm and left to dust
Kept locked away because what's done is done

I felt your soul leave your body
All the memories we made only haunt me
So far away

Past city lights
There were thorns too thick to see through
Tied up and left to die
There's not a chance in hell I'll reach you in time
Nowhere to hide
What a perfect day for bad news
Kept glorified in black and white
Somewhere past city lights

Past all the lights through all the thorns
Crows pick at corpses calling: Nevermore, oh

But in the end, you slipped through my fingertips
The clock won't stop for anything

I felt your soul leave your body
All the memories we made only haunt me
So far away

Past city lights
There were thorns too thick to see through
Tied up and left to die
There's not a chance in hell I'll reach you in time
Nowhere to hide
What a perfect day for bad news
Kept glorified in black and white
Somewhere past city lights

My stomach turned inside out
My world got flipped upside down
You turned this place to a ghost town
No one can hear me now
All is lost at the bottom of oblivion
All is lost at the bottom of us

Past city lights
There were thorns too thick to see through
Tied up and left to die
There's not a chance in hell I'll reach you in time
Nowhere to hide
What a perfect day for bad news
Kept glorified in black and white
Somewhere past city lights

Oh, no way in hell I'll reach you in time
