"As The City Sleeps" lyrics

"As The City Sleeps"

No matter how many times this valley cries, you sing to me
In this moment
I'm leaving all this
As I watch it shine beautifully
Underneath these saddened trees
Can't find a truth in front of me
When this city lies
It hides

My friend, in your eyes
When I look to you I find
Do you hate or love your life?
When this city lies
It hides

My friend, in your eyes
When I look to you I find
We'd walk this bridge for miles
But you're too far gone
How coping ends in pain

Look down from the hill tonight
It's the sinking feeling that finds its way to leave an imprint
Clouds roll over the city sky
Between these Appalachian mines
It's the sinking feeling that carves your thoughts and leaves you desperate

How could you look in my eyes
And tell me everything's alright
Don't say it's fine
When this valley lies
Then you realize this put you further
Down that line

What's far from me
Is this life you lead
Won't take a moment to think

What's far for me (what's far from me)
Is this life you lead (is this life you lead)
Until you find yourself on the floor
It won't mend these thoughts you
Break

Watch it fall on me (through these eyes I bleed)
Watch it fall on me (this time I'm waiting)

When you're forced to change
See the life you gave
Look around next time
At what you have to lose
(It's everything)

When the high does fade
See the mess you made
Look around this time
At what you have to lose
(It's nothing)

It's everything
It's nothing
Anymore
