[Verse 1]
            
I was left to 

           
my own devices

            
, many days fe

              
ll away with n

           
othing to show

  
. 

[Chorus]
             
And the walls 

              
kept tumbling 

             
down in the ci

            
ty that we lov

            
e, great cloud

s roll
             
over the hills

              
 bringing dark

            
ness from abov

         
e. But if you 

           
close your eye

s,
             
Does it almost

            
 feel like not

              
hing's changed

             
 at all? If yo

             
u close your e

yes, 
             
Does it almost

            
 feel like you

              
've been here 

            
before? How am

      
 i gonna be an

 
            
optimist about

             
 this, how am 

              
i gonna be an 

          
optimist about

 this?

[Verse 2]
             
We were caught

             
 up and lost i

            
n all of our v

            
ices, in your 

            
pose as the du

st
           
settled around

  
 us.

[Chorus]
             
And the walls 

              
kept tumbling 

             
down in the ci

[Bridge]
            
Oh, where do w
