City Songs

This city is an empty glass

Words do nothing

No one sleeps

This city is an empty glass

This city is an empty glass

Graciousness is lost

The betrayed yearn

This city is an empty glass

This city is an empty glass

Shops are closed

There is nothing

This city is an empty glass

This city is an empty glass

The buildings shriek

As everything weeps

This city is an empty glass

The trees hang their heads

And the wired wants faith, fray

The songs sing silently

Oh

This city is an empty glass (clouds)

This city is an empty glass (clouds)

And the air shrieks (and the air shrieks)

The breath is long (the breath is long)

For the fires are out (for the fires are out)

The waters sit still (the waters sit still)

This city

This city is an empty glass

And the air shrieks

The breath is long

And the fires are out

The waters sit still
