In this sinless city We wear calluses on our hands From empty, vain hand shaking We see the guilt has left again And all will fall With our without our goodwill So we'll fool them all Who pray for those who never will And we both let go And we both let go Never been much for pity Never been much for wishing them well But I can't help but sever The ties they tied, so tight, so well On one side they're holding on to what we were And here we are, holding the hands of the severed And we both let go And we both let go The fire burns like cancer The scarring lasts forever We all play tricks on fools That see us as their sinless answer Over and over again Over and over again And over and over and over and over and over and over again Don't say this isn't what your used to I've seen followers like you I've let down followers like you The fire burns like cancer The scarring lasts forever We all play tricks on fools That see us as their sinless answer The fire burns like cancer The scarring lasts forever We all play tricks on fools That see us as their only answer
