Strange Utopia
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.
Street lights cutting circles in the night
And I'm wandering between them
With my hooded coat pulled tight
Headphones on, breath like smoke
When everything is sleeping I am woke
Something happens when I'm out here alone
Some little piece of my old self comes home
It's a strange utopia we have
How did we end up here?
It's a strange utopia we have
Nobody tells you it's not how it first appears
Walking over a strange utopia
City lights illuminate a distant sky
Years ago we would've danced beneath them all night
But life arrives like a north wind
Pulling us from the clutches of the children we'd once been
But something happens when I'm out here
Alone and you're sleeping
Some little piece of my old self joins me on the road
It's a strange utopia we have
How did we end up here?
It's a strange utopia we have
Nobody tells you it's not how it first appears
How did we end up here?
It's a strange utopia
Do you see the crack in the veneer?
How did we end up here?
A strange utopia
Nobody tells you it's not how it first appears
