[Verse 1]
We paced these halls when I was young
If walls could talk, they'd speak of love
Now cold and calm and left to dust
Kept locked away because what’s done is done

[Pre-Chorus]
I felt your soul leave your body
All the memories we made only haunt me
So far away

[Chorus]
Past city lights
There were thorns too thick to see through
Tied up and left to die
There's not a chance in hell I'll reach you in time
Nowhere to hide
What a perfect day for bad news
Kept glorified in black and white
Somewhere past city lights

[Verse 2]
Past all the lights through all the thorns
Crows pick at corpses calling, nevermore
Oh!
But in the end, you slipped through my fingertips
The clock won’t stop for anything

[Pre-Chorus]
I felt your soul leave your body
Now all the memories we made only haunt me
So far away

[Chorus]
Past city lights
There were thorns too thick to see through
Tied up and left to die
There's not a chance in hell I'll reach you in time
Nowhere to hide
What a perfect day for bad news
Kept glorified in black and white
Somewhere past city lights

[Bridge]
My stomach turned inside out
My world got flipped upside down
You turned this place to a ghost town
No one can hear me now

[Interlude]
All is lost at the bottom of oblivion
All is lost at the bottom of us

[Chorus]
Past city lights (city lights)
There were thorns too thick to see through
Tied up and left to die (left to die)
There's not a chance in hell I'll reach you in time
Nowhere to hide (nowhere to hide)
What a perfect day for bad news
Kept glorified in black and white (black and white)
Somewhere past city lights

[Outro]
Oh!
No way in hell I'll reach you in time!
