As the City Sleeps Lyrics by One Step Closer

This Place You Know

2021

No matter how many times this valley cries, you sing to me
In this moment
I’m leaving all this
As I watch it shine beautifully
Underneath these saddened trees
Can’t find a truth in front of me
When this city lies
It hides
My friend, in your eyes
When I look to you I find
Do you hate or love your life?
When this city lies
It hides
My friend, in your eyes
When I look to you I find
We’d walk this bridge for miles
But you’re too far gone
How coping ends in pain
Look down from the hill tonight
It’s the sinking feeling that finds its way to leavе an imprint
Clouds roll over the city sky
Between thеse Appalachian mines
It’s the sinking feeling that carves your thoughts and leaves you desperate
How could you look in my eyes
And tell me everything’s alright
Don’t say it’s fine
When this valley lies
Then you realize this put you further
Down that line
What’s far from me
Is this life you lead
Won’t take a moment to think
What’s far for me (what’s far from me)
Is this life you lead (is this life you lead)
Until you find yourself on the floor
It won’t mend these thoughts you
Break
Watch it fall on me (through these eyes I bleed)
Watch it fall on me (this time I’m waiting)
When you’re forced to change
See the life you gave
Look around next time
At what you have to lose
(It’s everything)
When the high does fade
See the mess you made
Look around this time
At what you have to lose
(It’s nothing)
It’s everything
It’s nothing
Anymore
