Hello static city   I fell victim to your lights   You crush the breath from my lungs   Steal me away   Goodbye   Goodbye night   The daybreak's coming early   We will pass the world away   This isn't just another page, I swear it   I will write and we will pass these times away   Don't want to be like everybody else and miss my chance   We will pass these tired times      With fading hope and open arms   Hand in hand, we will make it through this life   So paint me black and close my eyes      I can't imagine what it's like to walk alone   Through this gauntlet of deceit   I will never turn my back on you   Burn my hands off once again   And we will make the best of this       [Chorus:]   Fading hope and open arms   Hand in hand, we will make it through this life   So paint me black and close my eyes   The city lights will leave us blind anyway   And we will make it through this      These times call for desperate measures   Strike a match, pull the pin      Hello, static city   I fell victim to...      [Chorus]      The city lights will leave us blind anyway.
