City Of Lights

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

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

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 it's 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

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
