Lyrics: Lost Cities

Lost Cities

Proud you stand,

brave new lungs exhaling stain, 

when we say goodbye, 

No one sees what it paints inside 

Wet streets, spiralling leaves, 

garbage and debris 

Rainbow mirror, gasoline, 

For old, to be new, 

Things fall apart, that’s beauty too

I may forget the words that you have said to me, 

even now I feel your hands disappearing

When all I wanted was to be free, i couldn’t cut you out of me, 

And now that I’m in need, I’m fumbling, 

through lost cities 

Sounds march out, 

wind up toys deployed from my mouth  

we grow, at least we try, 

and if change is constant, we’re in constant goodbye,  

When somethings at it’s end, there are no words to say

Look it in the eyes before it’s washed away, 

Appreciate grief, when it owns everything 

In a way it was the closest that we’d ever been 

in our lost cities
