"Cities" lyrics

In a city between two failed cities
These kids are drowning
Their anchor eyes are cast to the sidewalk
Beneath a sky full of stars

I just wish you'd make me believe you're someone else
I wish you'd take me for more than a silhouette

(Like the white owls) Like ghosts in the snow
(Like the white owls) Like you'll never know
(Like the white owls) Like diamonds crushing diamonds
(Like the white owls) Like beauty destroying itself
(Like the white owls) Your heart's a failing city
(Like the white owls) So pretend you're someone else

(Like the white owls) Like ghosts in the snow
(Like the white owls) Like ghosts in the snow
(Like the white owls) Like ghosts in the snow
(Like the white owls) Like ghosts in the snow
