We reside on different sides Of a wall too high to scale So we hide what no one finds And we dare to die You lose yourself in the masquerade to wear it like you do The city bleeds for me and you And the colours running through With the silence singing upon your mind Like we're two souls living in black and white In the city of light We die just to dream it Tonight We lie just to mean it Where to hide those blood red skies From the roses up for sale Full of light but not enlightened Like the ghosts we hail You're losing colour you're losing time And don't you wonder why (wonder why) Your river runs but won't run dry With the storm behind those eyes With the silence singing upon your mind Like we're two souls living in black and white In the city of light We die just to dream it Tonight We lie just to mean it Sell your soul Your skin and bones The city waits for you Sing it while they lose it all To wake up like you do In the city of light Sell your soul Your skin and bones The city waits for you Sing it while they lose it all To wake up like you do In the city of light Tonight Tonight Tonight
