[Verse 1] Neon pooling on the cracked concrete Smoke drags low across a hollow street The iron tower cuts the dead gray sky Watching the afternoon wither and die [Verse 2] Subway vents exhale a rusted breath Caught somewhere between sleep and death Collar pulled up against the damp Moths beating blind against the streetlamp [Pre-Chorus] We sink a little deeper in the mud [Chorus] Paris scrapes you down to the bone Washing the gutters, bleeding on the stone Forget the boulevards, choke on the rust Just heavy breathing turning into dust Swallowed by the concrete and the undertow [Extended Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Gargoyles spitting black rain from the roof Footsteps echo looking for proof Stale wine drying in the morning air A beautiful ruin left bare [Coda / Outro] Let the rain fall Wash the stone Let the rain fall Dying alone Never let you go [Instrumental Outro]
