City of Gold by Villes Lyrics
From where I rest I see a city of gold
I am the dreamer of the life that will soon unfold
As I look past and see these dead constitutions
I've had enough
I live my life for myself
Watching now, all the reflections of the wandering souls
They'll never grip my eyes
Remember the times
Where you looked to your father's eyes
Oh how they lied
How I see my salvation grasping at my throat
We'll never know how it feels to be one of you
You were the one
You were the one to blame
Now we're drowning in the undertow
We're not the ones we're not the ones to blame for our future never looked so cold
I won't forgive you
I won't forget you
From where I rest I see my city of gold
And now I feel so alone
In our city of gold
Watching now, with my back against the wall
I am forced to see myself
Like a ghost I'm lucid dreaming
What is this sinking feeling
Jaded with no direction forsaking those dreams of mine
Jaded with no direction my fears become what's left
I am only a man
I am the new revolution
No I will not seek fallen illusions
Pathetic I fall to the failing sons
Empathic this won't be my last breath
(Chorus)
From where I rest I see a city of gold
I am the dreamer of the life that will soon unfold
As I look past and see these dead constitutions
I've had enough
I live my life for myself
I am the dreamer of the life that will soon unfold
As I look past and see these dead constitutions
I've had enough
I live my life for myself
Watching now, all the reflections of the wandering souls
They'll never grip my eyes
Remember the times
Where you looked to your father's eyes
Oh how they lied
How I see my salvation grasping at my throat
We'll never know how it feels to be one of you
You were the one
You were the one to blame
Now we're drowning in the undertow
We're not the ones we're not the ones to blame for our future never looked so cold
I won't forgive you
I won't forget you
From where I rest I see my city of gold
And now I feel so alone
In our city of gold
Watching now, with my back against the wall
I am forced to see myself
Like a ghost I'm lucid dreaming
What is this sinking feeling
Jaded with no direction forsaking those dreams of mine
Jaded with no direction my fears become what's left
I am only a man
I am the new revolution
No I will not seek fallen illusions
Pathetic I fall to the failing sons
Empathic this won't be my last breath
(Chorus)
From where I rest I see a city of gold
I am the dreamer of the life that will soon unfold
As I look past and see these dead constitutions
I've had enough
I live my life for myself
