[Verse 1]
It's in the trees, it's in the leaves
This time I know that I'll stay clean
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Anything it gives
Anything it gives it will take back
The city's here for you
[Chorus]
My light burns low
And I know-woah-woah it's running out
They say "stay brave"
But I know-woah-woah it will return
[Verse 2]
I've felt death rising from me
From my fingers and out my mouth
[Pre-Chorus 2]
If you’re ever lonely
If you are alone, stay that way
The city's here for you
[Chorus]
My light burns low
And I know-woah-woah it's running out
They say "stay brave"
But I know-woah it will return
[Post-Chorus]
On the fourth day
On the fourth day
On the fourth day
On day four...
