Easily the darkest song on the record, the aptly titled closer to No Cities To Love wraps up its themes on age, irrelevance, and last hurrahs in a final sonic blaze.
[Verse 1]
When the last strip of light is dimming
When the spotlight starts to fade
If there's no tomorrow
You better live
[Chorus]
All of the roles that we played
Hit your mark, push the walls, stretch the stage
Oh, what a price that we paid
My dearest nightmare, my conscience, the end
[Bridge]
Unbelievable masquerade
Never revealing your truth
Deeper inside that mask you made
Losing the face of you
[Verse 2]
Tell me what do you see in the last script
Yeah it's a trip, what's it all for?
If we are truly dancing our swan song, darling
Shake it like never before
[Chorus]
All of the roles that we played
Hit your mark, push the walls, stretch the stage
Oh, what a price that we paid
My dearest nightmare, my conscience, the end
[Outro]
Oh what a price that we paid
My dearest nightmare, my conscience, the end
