lyrics

The city sunk into the river
And as it disappeared
I wondered what to do now that I'm alone here
Lights still shine
The skyline ripples underneath
It bustles, no surprise
I see their fiery eyes

And they all gaze back at me
And wonder why I'm out on the street while the city's sinking
It's so much safer in these buildings

I feel it all go hazy
And it's slowing up my feet
I know I'm over my head
I won't let it get to me
No safe distance
Even more obscurity
I have to fight the tide
There's nowhere here to hide

And they all look out at me
And wonder why I'm trying so hard to swim the wrong way
It's so much easier floating than swimming
