I was left to my own devi-i-i-ices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept crumbling down in the city that we lo-o-o-o-ove
Great clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from abo-o-o-o-ove
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all
And if you close your eyes
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
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us
And the walls kept crumbling down in the city that we lo-o-o-o-ove
Great clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from abo-o-o-o-ove
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all
And if you close your eyes
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
Where do we begin
The rubble or our sins
Oh where do we begin
The rubble or our sins
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we lo-o-o-o-oved
Great clouds rolled over our heads bringing darkness from abo-o-o-o-ove
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all
And if you close your eyes
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
