[Verse 1: Nicholas Matthews]
We paced these halls when I was young
If walls could talk, they'd speak of love
Now cold and calm and left to dust
Kept locked away because what’s done is done
[Pre-Chorus: Nicholas Matthews and Bradley Iverson]
I felt your soul leave your body
All the memories we made only haunt me
So far away
[Chorus: Nicholas Matthews]
Past city lights, there were thorns too thick to see through
Tied up and left to die
There's not a chance in hell I'll reach you in time
Nowhere to hide, what a perfect day for bad news
Kept glorified in black and white
Somewhere past city lights
[Verse 2: Nicholas Matthews and Bradley Iverson]
Past all the lights through all the thorns
Crows pick at corpses calling, "Nevermore"
Oh, but in the end, you slipped through my fingertips
The clock won’t stop for anything
[Pre-Chorus: Nicholas Matthews and Bradley Iverson]
I felt your soul leave your body (Oh)
Now all the memories we made only haunt me
So far away
[Chorus: Nicholas Matthews]
Past city lights, there were thorns too thick to see through
Tied up and left to die
There's not a chance in hell I'll reach you in time
Nowhere to hide, what a perfect day for bad news
Kept glorified in black and white
Somewhere past city lights
[Bridge: Nicholas Matthews]
My stomach turned inside out
My world got flipped upside down
You turned this place to a ghost town
No one can hear me now
All is lost at the bottom of oblivion
All is lost at the bottom of us
[Chorus: Nicholas Matthews]
Past city lights (City lights), there were thorns too thick to see through
Tied up and left to die (Left to die)
There's not a chance in hell I'll reach you in time
Nowhere to hide (Nowhere to hide), what a perfect day for bad news
Kept glorified in black and white (Black and white)
Somewhere past city lights
[Outro: Nicholas Matthews]
No, no way in hell I'll reach you in time!
