City Of Lights

[Verse 1] Bombastic’s far from fantastic The star’s magic falls and wreaks havoc Kites compete drastically, but still tragic And what they’re fighting for is balance Back when time wasn’t figurative, life was the simplest thing The sun shines, but the light won’t beam And life won’t breathe when we miss those things ‘Cause the blind can’t see what the kids don’t dream Bridging the gap for those missing the past They just don’t know when reminiscing the facts They trust no soul for completing the tracks To the brand new life they never wanted to have A blue sky for a red hawk down But the birds won't sing when the sky falls down The ascentment of kites all begins in a flash of light We hold tight, but we'll never live past the night [Hook] In the city of lights Where they took to the sky With their colorful kites And we'll watch them all fly away Fly away, fly away, fly away, fly away [Verse 2] Easily missing the summer skies resistance Lifetimes we’re given flies by with distance Still living our nighttime’s tradition There’s never been a time for our right-mind conditions We try wishing for more, but we’re so quick to blame For others putting our lovers up in the picture frame I’ve seen it get insane, waiting through the sicker days Clouds turn black, and the sun rays ricochet Wait! Now its time to pretend That the life that we live is written right to the end And life was so sacred, lights made it tainted Fate was our curse, now love is so ancient By living life this way Our love will still last when the lightness fades But we understand that the peace that we start with Dies when our kites fall deep to the darkness [Hook] [Outro] Fly away, fly away, fly away, fly away
