"Pueblo Cicada" lyrics

I try to wrap my brain around this
The very fact that this could be the end

Staggering man, you could ruin everything
If you only knew the dance, yeah
We try to pick up all the pieces of our city
But you just turn away, in the blaze of grey

Clearly I could see you giving up
And it kills me to watch you turn your face on us
You just turned away
You looked back but you were never the same
'Cause you step back when you had the chance to leave
But you still blame us like we did this
But you did 'cause our town has fallen under the sound

And I can't stand to watch you turn away (Turn away)
And clearly I could see right where you are (Are)
Systems disarmed
Waving your arms all the way down (All the way down)
Slipping under the sound again

I tried to hear the way it sounded
We died inside, when your body grounded
Spilled across the floor, slipping under the shade
They are here, you can't stop the sound
Of the city falling under ground
Of the city falling under ground
You can't stop the sound
You can't stop the sound (You can't stop the sound)
Of the city falling under ground
Of the city falling under ground

You looked back but you were never the same
'Cause you stepped back when you had the chance to leave

While the city is burning (The city is burning)
The shadow takes our lives with it (With it)
The fire spreads like a plague (Like a plague)
While the city is burning (The city is burning)

The shadow takes our lives (The shadow takes our lives)
With it
Takes our lives (Lives)
With shame
