Gray lights fall across the city I chase echoes no one hears A fleeting glance breaks in the distance Slipping through my hands like smoke Empty streets whisper dead songs Everything I touch turns cold Your eyes reflect a distant world A moment that will not return Even graveyards at night Feel more at home than the city by day A pair of rats runs through the night Perfection hides itself in shadows Sometimes I wonder If you think of me too If you ask the world To bring you in front of me But those dreams Fade away in the night As darkness Learns to breathe The city breathes, cold and empty Perfection dissolves into the mist
