Underneath a Stretching Skyline

He called me late last night
Saying he found something or someone
It wasn't clear, or maybe I wasn't totally awake
I wish I've been
The lights are flowing down
The lights are flowing down
Right down over the edge
Right down over the edge
Of another night
Everything seems so blurry at times
As if the world was falling on its knees
As if the skyline was stretching somehow
Are we all the same
Underneath...
The lights are flowing down
Skyline just hit the ground
We're standing over the edge
All yearning over the edge
Of another night
Of another night
Just another night
Just another night
He said thank you, or sorry, I don't know
He sounded good... at peace...
He didn't say much, I wish he had
At least, for just another night
The lights are flowing down
Skyline just hit the ground
Our shadows are the ghosts
Our shadows are the ghosts
I've seen every color
Felt every shiver of the city
As much as a son, I've never felt at home
The water keeps its course as the buildings
Are stretching through the sky
The sky is fading underneath
Like a soul kneeling for peace
A thousand cries without a tear
We're craving whispers, dressed with fears
He wasn't just a "guy"
He's always been someone to me
Just glad I had him if not even till dawn
And in the drift of days, the drift of lonely days
Static is the essence of life, when dreams keep falling apart
For another night
Dreams become wishes that will vanish into prayers
And prayers are turned into empty promises
Aren't we all
The lights are flowing down
Skyline just hit the ground
Our shadows are the ghosts, no colors
Our shadows are the ghosts, no colors
His clothes never fit him quite right
I wish I had understood a bit more
Silence could be pretty loud you know
The lights are flowing down
Skyline just hit the ground
Our shadows are the ghosts, no colors
Our shadows are the ghosts, no colors
Darkness is a leopard growling for shades
My twilight's getting brighter
I'm too hopeless to care, oh brother
Too hopeless to care, oh brother
Too desperate to see no colors
The water keeps its course as the buildings
Are stretching through the sky
The sky is fading underneath
Like a soul kneeling for peace
A thousand cries without a tear
We're craving whispers, dressed with fears
For faithless wonderland we're mourning after
La la la la la la la la la
Underneath
He left a few words of his own around
Who knows, I might leave as well
Maybe I just forgot what it was like to lose it all
All over again
I loved everything about this place
Like a stranger would fall in love
Somehow innocence is a plague here
And I needed more to keep breathing...
The water keeps its course as the buildings
Are stretching through the sky
The sky is fading underneath
Like a soul kneeling for peace
A thousand cries without a tear
We're craving whispers, dressed with fears
For faithless wonderland we're mourning after
La la la la la la la la la
Underneath
