I'm waving goodbye without hands
I'm holding my breath in space
I'm diving too deep on dry land
I'm speeding up as I lose pace

As midnight strikes I see the sun
As moon shows face - I glare
As candles lit I start to run
As sundown come - dispair

When children scream without a sound
When hair is tangled when combed
When you hold the map and can't be found
When the abandoned streets are roamed

You sit and stare with bleeding eyes
Your hands are turning black
You eat your breakfast - mouthfuls of lies
You can never look back

The clock is ticking - on and on
The soul inside me fades
The trusting city - too far gone
The burning sun we hate
