lyrics

Sometimes,
It's better not to break the spell,
And somehow,
It's better to remain unwell,
I can feel it,
Sinking deeper in my head,
I can hear it,
But it sounds so good, left unsaid.

How can you be so blind?
Have you lost your mind?
People disappear, and we are next I fear,
I don't want to stay and wait, I just want to run away.

Stay here,
In my bed, in my home,
Don't fear,
We're not happy, but we're not alone,
I can see it,
It looks much better all blurred now,
I don't believe it,
It's hard to choose from the inside out.

Who chooses what we see?
Who has power over me?
Life's beauty drained away and now I sing in vain,
I don't want to stay and wait, I just want to run away.

We are free,
How can you be so blind?
Just you and me,
How can you believe their lies?
We are free,
I have everything I need,
Just you and me,
We will find our remedy.

I can feel it,
Sinking deeper in my head,
I can hear it,
But it sounds so good, left unsaid.

How can you be so blind?
Have you lost your mind?
People disappear, and we are next I fear,
You just want to stay and wait?
I just want to run away.

We are free,
How can you be so blind?
Just you and me,
How can you believe their lies?
We are free,
I have everything I need,
Just you and me,
We will find our remedy.
I don't know how you could say this,
I thought that we could stand it.

I don't want to stay and wait, I just want to run away,
I don't want to stay and wait, I just need to run away.

The City is a concept music album with a graphic novel accompaniment that adds an extra dimension to the story.
In a dystopian City, everything is controlled through surveillance and public manipulation. In a world where the concepts of free will and independent thinking are considered a crime, a young couple struggles to break free from the oppression no matter the consequences. ... more
