"CITY OF GHOSTS" lyrics

"CITY OF GHOSTS"

Time had stalled when I saw it all
I was dying in the street
A sub-atomic, gin & tonic, hydroponic breach
So unaware as I was standing there
I could no longer breathe
An unobstructed view with lighter fuel
And time had all but ceased

You can't outrun it
Well it just comes and it goes
Feel pretty good like a cigarette should
And I run it right down so nobody knows
They know

Last time I seen him
He just up and ran away with the rope
A delicate generation
The last iteration
Smoking hope

It's a city of ghosts and autopsy notes
It's never fucking simple
Will we cease to exist
If we burn all the ships
And there's fire in the windows
Split the signal from noise just to destroy
When everything is ruthless
Just let go of the rope so nobody knows
Man, it's just how we get through this

When we lost the light and found the night
The night had grown some teeth
And the articles of conflict subsided carefully
An acetylene torch, a hoarder's front porch
Suddenly came to life
But the blackout blinds and holes in your mind
You're lucky you still have the fight

You can't outrun it
Well it just comes and it goes
Feel pretty good like a cigarette should
And I run it right down so nobody knows
They know

In a city of ghosts and autopsy notes
It's never fucking simple
Will we cease to exist if we burn all the ships
And there's fire in the windows
Split the signal from noise just to deploy
When everything is ruthless
When I run unopposed so nobody knows
It's just how I get through this

We burn all the ships
It's just how we get through this
We burn all the ships
It's just how we get through this
Split the signal from noise just to avoid
Let go of the rope so nobody knows

That we lost all the light, the teeth in the night
The conflict subsides behind the blackout blinds
In the city of ghosts
(It's just how we get through this)
Split the signal from noise
(It's just how we get through this)
Just how we get through this
Split the signal from noise
(It's just how we get through this)
Just how we get through this
It's just how we get through this

Time had stalled when I saw it all
I was dying in the street
Sub-atomic, gin & tonic, hydroponic breach
Unaware as I was standing there
I could no longer breathe
An unobstructed view with lighter fuel
And time had all but ceased

(It's just how we get through this)
(It's just how we get through this)
Yeah, it's just how we get through this
I split the signal from noise
(It's just how we get through this)
I split the signal from noise
(It's just how we get through this)
I split the signal from noise
(It's just how we get through this)
I split the signal from noise
