Текст песни
The neon flickers - a Morse code in the gloom
I count the heartbeats in a thousand rooms
You move in silence behind the curtain’s veil
A silent movie, a forgotten tale
You think the darkness is a cloak, a shield, a friend
But my gaze is on you, right to the very end
I see the coffee cold, the argument unsaid
The restless turning in your lonely bed
The girders groan, the traffic sighs below
A thousand stories only I can know
You're just a shadow in a frame of light -
Exposed and fragile in my endless night
City lights, city eyes, watching you breathe
Counting the cracks in the life that you weave
Through the glass, through the dark - do you ever perceive
City lights, city eyes... Are you dreaming
City lights, city eyes, under my sky
You live and you love, you're born and you die -
A blink in the socket of my concrete eye
City lights... Are you dreaming
A figure stands there, just a silhouette
Wiping the condensation — are you weeping yet
Another building, a party's dying sound
A broken glass that no one sticks around
You think you're hidden, you think you're safe and sound
But I'm the one who holds this sleeping ground
Your triumphs, failures, all the love you faked
Are just the data for the watchtower I've staked
The cables hum, the power lines they sing -
A quiet horror that the daylight brings
You are the dreamer, delicate and small
I am the dream, and I contain it all
City lights, city eyes, watching you breathe
Counting the cracks in the life that you weave
Through the glass, through the dark - do you ever perceive
City lights, city eyes... Are you dreaming
City lights, city eyes, under my sky
You live and you love, you're born and you die -
A blink in the socket of my concrete eye
City lights... Are you dreaming
I have seen you at your worst, I have seen you at your best
I am the silence that puts your fears to rest
I am the iron, the asphalt, and the stone
I am the silence that you've always known
You can pull the blinds
You can lock the door
But you can't escape what you are
Something to be watched
Something to be ignored
City lights, city eyes, watching you breathe!
Counting the cracks in the life that you weave!
Through the glass, through the dark - do you ever perceive!
City lights, city eyes... Are you dreaming!
City lights, city eyes, under my sky!
You live and you love, you're born and you die!
A blink in the socket of my concrete eye!
City lights... Are you dreaming!
...аre you dreaming
...аre you dreaming
...аre you dreaming
