Metropole
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Brush off the hours of your day
I'm buried in the distant dusk
Winding past some certain roads, history's remapped
I'm not together, I'm apart
I'm not together, I'm apart
The wilderness of these streets
The neon trees shine their lights down on me
Years on repeat
Years on repeat
Mother, I don't even care
I thought I tried
I'm so sorry I never call and I never write
The traffic lights blinked a million times
I blinked twice and twenty years went by
Twenty years went by
The wilderness of these streets
The neon trees shine their lights down on me
Years of defeat
Years of defeat
We're stuck somewhere in between
The sounds of the orchestra rise
And swell all around me
This is the end of all things
This is the end
This is the end of all things
This is the end
This is the end of all things
This is the end
This is the end of all things
