Bright lights flashing, burning up averted eyes
Fractured freeways fabricate under blackened skies
Cold emptiness wears the skyline's neon guise
Tires cling to pavement, saying their goodbyes
Eyes are open, none beyond
Can we save those who've withdrawn
Eyes are open, mind is gone
Who is there to rely on
In the hour when everyone is a sleep
Walls will crack and through the floorboard darkness seeps
One foot in will test to see if it's too deep
Hold your breath or inside your heart it will creep
Big smile seeming friendly
Arms open to greet me
Words assuring safety
I know that this can't be
Kneeling with us when it's rolling
But the fog parts when they're going
Stagnation the raven will sing
Discord is all that this will bring
