In your city where everything is never-ending

Do you worry your existence is quick?

Is that something we can fix?

In the unnamed space between the night and day

We don't need to go home

The second hand is moving so slow

We don't belong here

Where can we go?

Now the light of day will keep me warm and safe

Am I stealing time or giving my life away?

Get into this black car

Take me out to where you are

Knocking on some stranger's door

Give me what I came here for

Your sunrise

Knocks me to the ground

Your sunrise

Oh, I must be moving

At the sight of the crowd

I'm working on my wall again

At the sight of the crowd

I'm working on my wall once and for all

I will leave when everyone is gone

You've been down so long

Down so long, can't let the light in

You've been down so long

Down so long, can't let the light in

I see a shadow

Oh, I know what follows

Get into this black car

Take me out to where you are

Knocking on some warehouse door

Is this what I came here for?

I want tomorrow to be so far from today

I want to leave here with something I can give away

Your sunrise

Knocks me to the ground

Your sunrise

Oh, I must get moving

At the sight of the crowd

I'm working on my wall again

At the sight of the crowd

I'm working on my wall once and for all

I will leave when everyone is gone

You've been down so long

Down so long, come let the light in

You've been down so long

Down so long, come let the light in

You see a shadow

And you know what follows

You see a shadow

I've been waiting for your light
