Ludicra - Dead City lyrics

Something big and bright Looms outside my window Choked with promise Smother in hope Days plod on like machines of ceaseless ruin Lost in a forest of haunted buildings I'm the feeble crack of light That shines in spite of all I'm held in place by a fragile base I'm the feeble crack of light That shines in spite of all I'll rest in denial I'll hide here for a while With each sundown comes sickness With each sunrise surrender And still they come deaf and dumb Days of incessant woe The walk is paved in shame The cement blocks and common sense The lowly steep in mockery The exalted drained all our strength
