City Sleeps

Blueprints For a Dream

City Sleeps


We built this world in our deepest dreams
Only to destroy ourselves (and tear down how we loved)
This train is coming fast, so hold your breath and close your eyes
The greatest architect could not draw the plans (to save our lives)

It plays over in my head every single fragment
And no matter how I try I can't create you as reality
And truth be told, this lucidity's catching up with me this time

Is this real? Or is this just a dream?
You draw the maps, I'll make the plans
We'll stop at nothing

We built this world in our deepest dreams
Only to destroy ourselves (and tear down how we loved)
This train is coming fast, so hold your breath and close your eyes
The greatest architect could not draw the plans (to save our lives)

And I know what I've grown
To deserve this misery

And we're all trapped inside this floating world
Just waiting for the kick
And I know, that you are the victim and I am the culprit
Your memory will forever live in my mind

We built this world in our deepest dreams
Only to destroy ourselves (and tear down how we loved)
This train is coming fast, so hold your breath and close your eyes
The greatest architect could not draw the plans (to save our lives)
