End of a life

[00:03.01] We’d run right through those nights

[00:10.02] I’ll never find my way back to you inside this labyrinth of lights

[00:14.01] There was madness In the meaning, never laughless

[00:17.76] We were screaming at the top of our lungs to the numbness

[00:21.03] This city never died.

[00:24.52] I’ll fly, no proof, those heights

[00:31.27] I’ll never find another chance to say “hey, thanks for saving my life”

[00:35.28] I was hopeless, it was stinging, running roadless

[00:39.27] We were singing at the top of our lungs to the numbness

[00:42.36] This city never died.

[00:46.62] What was the root of it all? … I couldn’t say.

[00:49.36] Used to jump and then fall, rugged and cliched.

[00:51.87] Would shrug it off without complaint, not a sound

[00:54.11] No use in trying to find friends, cuz in the end nobody sticks around

[00:57.36] It’s when you shoved yourself into a crowded place

[00:59.37] That you turned around and found yourself in love in outer space

[01:02.11] Cue the reckless nights, no strings, laughing at our own dreams…

[01:05.86] Just what the hell was so funny?

[01:07.36] Bark up the wrong tree, stumble, used to falling great heights

[01:09.87] Amidst a concrete jungle, singing cuz it felt right

[01:12.36] We mixed the ennui and troubles, rhyming our discontent

[01:15.37] And though it’s history, I can’t forget the time that we spent

[01:17.87] Convinced that this could mean another end, exists between real and pretend

[01:20.87] A twisted alter-fiction where I missed my chance, did not ascend and

[01:23.61] Disappearing into the mist of “never happened”

[01:26.11] Is the me that I can never befriend.

[01:28.11] … I let it go.

[01:30.11] Fade in, fade out

[01:32.79] This crazy dream

[01:35.54] Without a direction, floating aimlessly

[01:40.79] There’s nothing left back there for me

[01:46.04] Breathe in, but it won’t stop the rain from pouring

[01:50.30] We’d run right through those nights

[01:56.54] I’ll never find my way back to you inside this labyrinth of lights

[02:00.79] There was madness in the meaning, never laughless

[02:04.55] We were screaming at the top of our lungs to the numbness

[02:07.79] This city never died.

[02:10.04] But was there ever a soul inside?

[02:12.04] Chasing fireflies between the soaring high-rises

[02:14.54] Left a trail behind, defined it “wasted time of our lives”

[02:17.54] Silent singer, overworked and underpaid

[02:19.29] Thinks an office is a coffin until off is where you’re laid

[02:22.04] Yet a thought persists, an optimist who ought to be afraid

[02:24.80] Saw the “nothing wrong” in writing songs behind the lonely shade

[02:27.29] Is the world a sadder place without the words that you conveyed?

[02:30.04] When the ladder fell and shattered every bar that we had played?

[02:32.79] Does it matter in the end the sound diminished and decayed

[02:35.29] And your friends grew tired of fantasy, you’re wishing they had stayed?

[02:38.04] You don’t get to say “I miss you”, you watched your heroes fade

[02:40.54] Into the rear view-mirror of the villain you portrayed

[02:43.29] Stop the pity party, listen, you don’t get to be dismayed

[02:46.04] You don’t get to be emotional, feel blessed you got it made

[02:48.54] These the best of years of life because you chose to make a trade

[02:51.29] Recollect the days you hoped and you prayed for this

[02:53.60] What is there to miss?

[02:55.35] Fade in, fade out

[02:58.10] This hazy dream

[03:00.60] Without a direction, roaming aimlessly

[03:06.10] There’s nothing left back there for me

[03:11.35] Pretend it’s the end of a made up story

[03:15.35] I’ll fly, no proof, those heights

[03:21.85] I’ll never find another chance to say “hey, thanks for saving my life”

[03:26.10] I was hopeless, it was stinging, driving roadless

[03:29.85] We were singing at the top of our lungs to the numbness

[03:33.10] This city never died.

[03:35.35] I’ll say goodbye to the soul inside

[03:37.10] And yet somehow, there was romance in our self-hate

[03:40.60] “We’ve got no chance” in this light maze

[03:43.35] But let’s hold hands through the night haze

[03:46.10] We’ll run so fast ’til the school chime, ’til the train runs

[03:50.10] We know it’s time, we’re the sane ones

[03:52.60] Waking up now to the “real life”

[03:55.35] Let me daydream ’til the next night

[03:58.11] I’ll keep waiting

[04:02.10] I’ll keep waiting for you

[04:30.10] Waking up now to my real life

[04:32.60] Let me daydream ’til the next flight

[04:35.10] Drowning so long, I got older

[04:37.85] Now the crowd’s gone

[04:39.60] Is it over?

[04:40.85] Is it over…?
