[Intro] [Distant city siren sample blurred by heavy reverb, slow trip-hop groove begins] [Verse 1] Ten thousand windows reflecting the dark A grid of isolation hanging in the sky I press my forehead to the freezing glass Watching the yellow taxi cabs roll by A microscopic drama playing on the street A sudden argument beside a corner store I am a satellite orbiting the pain Floating high above the concrete floor [Refrain] [Strings swell beautifully, providing a warm contrast to the cold bass] Everyone is breathing Nobody makes a sound A colony of strangers Hovering above the ground Everyone is breathing Nobody makes a sound A colony of strangers Hovering above the ground [Verse 2] I see a flicker in the building across the way Another insomniac pacing in a box We share a momentary, silent stare Caught inside the ticking of the separate clocks He raises up a glass to the empty space I nod my head to the shadow in the frame Two separate islands in a sea of wire Without a history, without a name [Refrain] [Strings swell beautifully, providing a warm contrast to the cold bass] Everyone is breathing Nobody makes a sound A colony of strangers Hovering above the ground Everyone is breathing Nobody makes a sound A colony of strangers Hovering above the ground [Instrumental Break] [Hypnotic drum break takes over, interwoven with eerie, sustained guitar feedback] Flashbulbs Lightning flash [Refrain] [Vocals return, very close to the microphone] Everyone is breathing Nobody makes a sound A colony of strangers Hovering above the ground Everyone is breathing Nobody makes a sound A colony of strangers Hovering above the ground [Outro] [Music strips down to just a vinyl crackle] We are entirely alone. Together. [Fade to silence]
