Civilization Lyrics by Parallels

Metropolis

2017

[Verse 1]
Still, time stood for me
To show we needed sympathy
I understand better from a distance, we were only lost

[Pre-Chorus]
We were blue like the veins
Running rivers down your face

[Chorus]
We'll carry on in civilization
The skyline in the night had never looked so real
Strangers in a city dead for dreamers
Idling satellites, looking in
Where do we belong, without a place in civilization?
Where do we belong, without a place in civilization?

[Verse 2]
Midnight wrapped around me
I felt the coldest touch of absence fall upon these streets
In shadows lie, turn to face reflections to feel not so alone

[Pre-Chorus]
We never choose these battles in isolation
They're never won

[Chorus]
Carry on in civilization
The skyline in the night had never looked so real
Strangers in a city dead for dreamers
Idling satellites, looking in
Where do we belong, without a place in civilization?
Where do we belong, without a place in civilization?
