Matt Sax - City At Sleep lyrics

[Willow] I feel the void I left behind Am I strong enough to hold The weight of all their souls? I wonder if they are nearby Shadows on the wall Hoping we don't fall [Venice] Open the window feel the wind Blow See the city sleeping in a state Of Limbo I feel their presence on my Shoulders And in this moment A wound is open After all those years thought the Lock was broken Is the writing on the wall? Has it been there all along? [Venice & Willow] It's not too late The city is so quiet And my midnight hour's never seen This sight Was our fate determined by that Night? Seems like -- all that's wrong could Now be right And from what I know this road Is golden And I know I believe in you How far we've come We've just begun But when the morning breaks we Will see the sun [Emilia] Tonight A city sleeps With the news on the street That we are safe beneath Our sheets And so we sleep Hoping that the bombs don't drop On our streets And you can feel it in the air Expectance Cause it was relentless For countless seconds The bombs would beckon Ay yo I reckon -- This city is too quiet tonight Time can play tricks and be so damn Wicked One day you're in love and your Soul is stricken Your heart patters fast and your Pace is quickened But what you don't see is the bomb That's ticking Well I've been married five years My dear I swear I thought we were a great pair Beware, prepare Cause these days he doesn't even Come near [Emilia] (Spoken) You're late. Where were you tonight? [Markos] (Spoken) Didn't you hear? My brother's got a new wife -- I said he's got a new wife and I wasn't informed. It's like one more thing to this goddamn war -- [Emilia] (Spoken) Yeah I heard, it's all over the news. Baby come here -- don't I get a kiss from you? [Markos] (Spoken) Not right now I got things on my mind. Can't you leave me for a second -- just a moment to unwind? Damn -- I just need some time. The minute I get home I gotta hear you whine. [Emilia] (Spoken) Oh? Like you're so refined? [Markos] (Spoken) Please, baby, not now I need you to be kind There's a party to plan I'm feeling hardly a man And with all your demands You just don't understand I am hardly in step With your emotional dance From the time I walk in I don't stand a chance [Emilia] All these years spent fighting Lying Trying not to cry [Markos] Give me one more reason Not to leave and say goodbye [Emilia] Grasping for some memory to keep My love alive [Emilia & Markos] I need I need a change tonight [Markos] I need a change tonight [Emilia] I need a change tonight [Venice & Willow] (Markos & Emilia) But from what I know This road is Golden (All these years) And I know (Spent fighting) Believe in you (Maybe this will) What we've (Turn the tide) Been told We can't (I need) Control (I need a change) I'm here with (Tonight) You (I need a change) (Tonight) Tonight (I need a change) Tonight (Tonight) Tonight (I need a change) Tonight (Tonight) (A knock at the door) [Markos] (Spoken) Uninvited unfound In this hell of a home Opportunity knocks And it's time to go [Emilia] I never thought the road was Golden But I want to believe in you I need a change tonight I need a change tonight
