[Intro]
[whispered vocals]
Smoke in the skyline
Sirens like vultures
Breath tastes of metal
Ground keeps shaking
[Verse 1]
Skies turned orange
Morning died at noon
Ash on the playground swings
Kids ran too soon
Billboards flicker
Wrong dates
Blank eyes
Glass in the rainfall
Nothing feels alive
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the cracks in the concrete breathe
Crowds move backwards
Nowhere to leave
Every screen screams "This is fine"
But I see the fault line
[Chorus]
World going to shit and we're still dancing
Fire in our lungs
Cities collapsing
Fear in the streets
Love turns to madness
Hold me in the dark
While it all burns fastest
World going to shit and we're still dancing
[Verse 2]
Masks on the sidewalk
Boot prints in the dust
Helicopters circle low
Shouting "Pray or trust"
Shadows grow longer
Candles drown in smoke
Laughing at the thunder
Like it's some bad joke
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the windows learning to scream
Floodlights flicker
Kill the dream
Every breath tastes just like war
But we beg for more
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Who do we blame when the sky caves in?
Who do we save when the walls start to spin?
[voice breaking]
If this is the end of the world we knew
I just want one more second with you
[Chorus]
