Of Sinners + Saints - City of Lights

You feel the hurt, salvation's fall
But we rise above against it all
You'll never forge an empire if you've never even planted a seed
Upon this earth
Because you can't put out a fire if you've never sparked a flame
Sure can't call upon your maker if he's never heard your name
And you can't start casting stones if you've never even taken the blame
For your own faults
I never really thought I'd want to live forever
Just a nine to five working dive bar disaster
And I'm rising with the sun so I can fall with the stars
But now I'm blinded by the city lights
You feel the sting upon your head
Watching lovers strike their loved ones dead
No place is ever perfect and they never seem to give it a rest
It never ends
Can't find your destination if you've never tried to roam
But you'll never make your peace if you keep on leaving home
This human odyssey has lasted now a hundred thousand years or so
We still don't know
I never really thought I'd want to live forever
Just a nine to five working dive bar disaster
And I'm rising with the sun so I can fall with the stars
But now I'm blinded by the city lights
And I never really cared about a thought or a feeling
Tried to dance with the devil
Staring blank at the ceiling
Now I'm blinded by the city lights
Forever taken by the city of lights
I never really thought I'd want to live forever
Just a nine to five working dive bar disaster
And I'm rising with the sun so I can fall with the stars
But now I'm blinded by the city lights
And I never really cared about a thought or a feeling
Tried to dance with the devil
Staring blank at the ceiling
Now I'm blinded by the city lights
Forever taken by the city of lights
