City Of Lights

[Verse 1]
Bombastic’s far from fantastic
The star’s magic falls and wreaks havoc
Kites compete drastically, but still tragic
And what they’re fighting for is balance
Back when time wasn’t figurative, life was the simplest thing
The sun shines, but the light won’t beam
And life won’t breathe when we miss those things
‘Cause the blind can’t see what the kids don’t dream
Bridging the gap for those missing the past
They just don’t know when reminiscing the facts
They trust no soul for completing the tracks
To the brand new life they never wanted to have
A blue sky for a red hawk down
But the birds won't sing when the sky falls down
The ascentment of kites all begins in a flash of light
We hold tight, but we'll never live past the night

[Hook]
In the city of lights
Where they took to the sky
With their colorful kites
And we'll watch them all fly away

Fly away, fly away, fly away, fly away

[Verse 2]
Easily missing the summer skies resistance
Lifetimes we’re given flies by with distance
Still living our nighttime’s tradition
There’s never been a time for our right-mind conditions
We try wishing for more, but we’re so quick to blame
For others putting our lovers up in the picture frame
I’ve seen it get insane, waiting through the sicker days
Clouds turn black, and the sun rays ricochet
Wait! Now its time to pretend
That the life that we live is written right to the end
And life was so sacred, lights made it tainted
Fate was our curse, now love is so ancient
By living life this way
Our love will still last when the lightness fades
But we understand that the peace that we start with
Dies when our kites fall deep to the darkness

[Hook]

[Outro]
Fly away, fly away, fly away, fly away
