He called me late last night Saying he found something or someone It wasn't clear, or maybe I wasn't totally awake I wish I've been The lights are flowing down The lights are flowing down Right down over the edge Right down over the edge Of another night Everything seems so blurry at times As if the world was falling on its knees As if the skyline was stretching somehow Are we all the same Underneath... The lights are flowing down Skyline just hit the ground We're standing over the edge All yearning over the edge Of another night Of another night Just another night Just another night He said thank you, or sorry, I don't know He sounded good... at peace... He didn't say much, I wish he had At least, for just another night The lights are flowing down Skyline just hit the ground Our shadows are the ghosts Our shadows are the ghosts I've seen every color Felt every shiver of the city As much as a son, I've never felt at home The water keeps its course as the buildings Are stretching through the sky The sky is fading underneath Like a soul kneeling for peace A thousand cries without a tear We're craving whispers, dressed with fears He wasn't just a "guy" He's always been someone to me Just glad I had him if not even till dawn And in the drift of days, the drift of lonely days Static is the essence of life, when dreams keep falling apart For another night Dreams become wishes that will vanish into prayers And prayers are turned into empty promises
Aren't we all The lights are flowing down Skyline just hit the ground Our shadows are the ghosts, no colors Our shadows are the ghosts, no colors His clothes never fit him quite right I wish I had understood a bit more Silence could be pretty loud you know The lights are flowing down Skyline just hit the ground Our shadows are the ghosts, no colors Our shadows are the ghosts, no colors Darkness is a leopard growling for shades My twilight's getting brighter I'm too hopeless to care, oh brother Too hopeless to care, oh brother Too desperate to see no colors The water keeps its course as the buildings Are stretching through the sky The sky is fading underneath Like a soul kneeling for peace A thousand cries without a tear We're craving whispers, dressed with fears For faithless wonderland we're mourning after La la la la la la la la la Underneath He left a few words of his own around Who knows, I might leave as well Maybe I just forgot what it was like to lose it all All over again I loved everything about this place Like a stranger would fall in love Somehow innocence is a plague here And I needed more to keep breathing... The water keeps its course as the buildings Are stretching through the sky The sky is fading underneath Like a soul kneeling for peace A thousand cries without a tear We're craving whispers, dressed with fears For faithless wonderland we're mourning after La la la la la la la la la Underneath
