The City Lyrics by Atrium

2015

[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
Even if the blood dries in my veins
Even if I never breathe again
Even when you've lost your faith in me
Find a reason to believe
You don't have to hide
Leave this behind
You have to make it out alive

[Chorus]
The city was ours
And we were the kings inside these walls
But we lost control, letting it go
Stripping the life from these broken bones
The damage is done
We can't change it's become
But the city was ours
Bent around the sun
We lost ourselves to what we are

[Verse 2]
I remember what we used to be
What we were before we lost the dream
Now I know it's buried deep within
What's hidden beneath your skin
I don't have hide
I'll leave this behind
I'll have to make it out alive

[Chorus]
The city was ours
And we were the kings inside these walls
But we lost control, letting it grow
Stripping the life from these broken bones
The damage is done
We can't change it's become
But the city was ours
Bent around the sun
We lost ourselves to what we are

[Bridge]
We watched our city burning down
The ashes buried us underground
We watched our city burning down
The ashes buried us
We watched our city burning down
The ashes buried us underground
We watched our city burning down

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The city was ours
The damage is done
The city was ours
The damage is done
