Lyrics City Lights - Submotion Orchestra, MMOTHS

City Lights

I see it tonight
I walk along
Empty roads
That lead me home
They promise much, but leave me cold
Another day
I could have stayed
But now I’d rather turn my back and walk away
Through the concrete
Of the dark alley street
Your dreams made
And you know what you need
But the city will leave you to bleed
So I wake up
As the world falls asleep
Gotta climb up
Before I drown in the deep
Cause this town is beginning to seem
Like all I have known
Are shadows and smoke
I’ve given my all
But the city lights don’t seem so bright no more
All the times
One more time
I’m chasing lights
Cause tonight the truth decides to pass me by
I turn the page
It ain’t enough
I hope my page will change before I’m swallowed now
By the concrete
Of the dark alley street
Your dreams made
And you know what you need
But the city will leave you to bleed
So I wake up
As the world falls asleep
Gotta climb up
Before I drown in the deep
Cause this town is beginning to seem
Like all I have known
Are shadows and smoke
I’ve given my all
But the city lights don’t seem so bright no more
The city lights don’t seem so bright no more
The city lights don’t seem so bright no more
