We stood alone,
our patience stood tall,
and the wind it stood still,
like a breath you don't take
you counted seventeen stars in the sky,
not bad for a city these days, we say.
I stood and stared
at nothing and everything,
like a sailor, searching for land
and we felt at peace,
not bad for a city these days we say
Roses did cover, they covered the shore
Today is not better,
but today is not worse
and nothing we said
seemed to make sense anymore
so we just stopped trying
No one can change us
away from ourselves.
And no one can breathe this air so thick
through these lungs
we say we say
and no one can see these skies
so grey, through these eyes
we hate we hate
and no one can change us
away from ourselves
I have been numb from the surface to core
and today is not better,
but today is not worse.
Nothing we said seemed to make sense anymore,
so we just stopped trying...
No one can change us
away from ourselves.
And no one can breathe this air so thick
through these lungs
we say we say
and no one can change us
away from ourselves
and no one can change us
away from ourselves
