Verse 2: Same as verse 1
In the shadows of tall buildings
The architecture is slowly peeling
Marble statues and glass dividers
Someone is watching all of the outsiders
Pre-Chorus:

Past the mosaic of the head of state
Chorus:
Verse 3: Same as verse 1
In the shadows of tall buildings
Of open arches endlessly kneeling
Sonic landscapes echoing vistas
Someone is listening from a safe distance
Pre-Chorus:
The line moves slowly into a fading light
A final moment in the dead of the night
