Intro: (whispered, noir tone) I awoke to her voice, A choice, I never dreamed would be calling, The choice, not mine, But I’ll sing the songbirds melody, A sinner, a saint, a killing faint light ending, Verse: Glass City… Eating us alive, only held up with broken dreams… The will to survive cuts deep… Nothing is what it seems… Chorus (hook, layered synth + echo) Glass City… I can’t escape the day, and the nights are haunting, It’s seducing me, consuming me, always… Glass City… There’s no way out, no way free… except for me, to die. (repeat “Glass City… Glass City…” under synth) Verse 2 (half-sung, darker, aggressive): This City… touched by the devil’s hand, I pull the trigger, but they have command… I’m left covered in Blood and pain, under this fucking neon calling my name, I live, I lust, I sin, I die… Chorus 2 (extended, harder, distorted vocoder): This City… this city is gonna get me, But at least the Love is just lust, and the pain is sweet, Every mark a soul for me… Pity me, silly me, for wanting something… for me. I’m seduced, by nightmares, consumed by their eyes, I’m the sinner, the killer, the groom to this wedding of fate and reality… I can’t escape the day, and the nights are haunting, haunt haunt me baby, come on show me show me everything I can’t see, It’s seducing me, consuming me, always… The blue door..… no more, no seeking the lonely dream to see, the blue door no more haunting me, I won’t see, There’s no way out, no way free… except for me, to die. (chant repeat building to climax) Glass City… Glass City… Glass City… Bridge (industrial, pulsing, repetitive mantra): Sinner. Killer. Lover. Dealer. Owned. Bound. Bodies on the ground. Sinner. Killer. Lover. Dealer. Glass City… The devil owns me. Outro (slow breakdown, whispered chant, fading into static): Glass City… Concrete saints bend to corporate prayers, Neon prophets trade our names for shares, I can’t escape the day, and the nights are haunting, It’s seducing me, consuming me, always… Glass City… Glass City… I can’t escape the day, and the nights are haunting, It’s seducing me, consuming me, always… Glass City… There’s no way out, no way free… except for me, to die. no way out, no way free… except for me, to die. (Background singing: The blue door..… no more, no seeking the lonely dream to see, the blue door no more haunting me, I won’t see, There’s no way out, no way free… except for me, to die.) Glass City… (long sustained note, teeth of synth bending) You keep your vultures, keep your towers high, I keep my silence, keep my one last light — Glass City… I leave you with the night.
