This city is burning, this town is a ghost
This village is silent, from mountain to coast
What are we doing here, why don’t we disappear
Where is the grass and tree, this desert is bare
Why do we love to fight?
Why do we love the night?
We hate what is perfect,
We love what is worthless,
You’ve done it again, you won’t let me go
Oh no, you did it again,
You broke my heart and left me, left me for dead
The city is burning, there’s no water to spare
I’ve drunk the river dry, and I don’t even care
The people are dying, lying dead in the streets
The sun has gone missing, but everywhere there’s heat
Why am I still sitting here, in my rocking chair?
Thinking of my selfishness and holding a stare
You’ve done it again, you let me go
