V5

[Verse 1] Streetlights start to bleed across the wet asphalt The golden hour's a lie I taught myself to halt Used to watch the sunset on the skyline from my room To see a masterpiece, now I just see a tomb The Ambassador Bridge is just steel and heavy rust Every single monument just starts turning into dust [Pre-Chorus] I used to think the cracks would let a little light get in I used to think that faith was the one war you could win I held on to the stories, held on to the sound But all the walls I built are coming down… coming down… [Chorus (Drop)] I used to see the halos, now I just see the holes This city's full of bullshit saints and tired, empty souls And all my prayers are bouncing off a cold and silent sky So this is my goodbye! Oh-oh-oh! To everything I thought was true Losing faith in me and you! [Verse 2] Every hero has a script they read from start to end Every "I love you" is just a game of 'let's pretend' I listened to the preachers, listened to my friends They sell you heaven where the fine print never ends I see the puppet strings now in every helping hand A kingdom made of cardboard in a promised, broken land [Pre-Chorus] I used to think that trying meant you couldn't really fail I used to think that goodness was a truth that would prevail I held on to your promises, held on to the sound But all the gods we built are falling down… falling down! [Chorus (Drop 2)] I used to see the halos, now I just see the holes This city's full of bullshit saints and tired, empty souls And all my prayers are bouncing off a cold and silent sky So this is my goodbye! Oh-oh-oh! To everything I thought was true Losing faith in me and you! [Bridge] Is anybody out there? Is anyone still home? Or are we all just noises on a dying telephone? I'm shouting in the dark here, but the only thing I hear Is the echo of my fear… just the echo of my fear [Final Chorus (Outro Drop)] I USED TO SEE THE HALOS, NOW I JUST SEE THE HOLES! THIS CITY'S FULL OF BULLSHIT SAINTS AND TIRED, EMPTY SOULS! AND ALL MY PRAYERS ARE BOUNCING OFF A COLD AND SILENT SKY SO THIS IS MY GOODBYE! OH-OH-OH! THERE'S NOTHING LEFT I THOUGHT WAS TRUE I'VE LOST MY FAITH IN ME AND YOU! [Outro] Me and you… faith in… me and you… los-los-losing… [end]
