Skyline Escape - Amendfoil

I find myself staring at the sun more and more

often lately

Thinking I belong somewhere else,

here I find no meaning

The more I let it burn

the longer it remains as

a ghost in my mind

All I have to do is

close my eyes and

I’ll be fine but no

Stillness of the world lays a weary passenger

to rest once more

The moment just before everyone wakes might be

the only true solitude

Are we sleeping with our eyes wide open?

And what do you see when you close your eyes?

Close your eyes

Silhuette of a slumbering city

Roads entwine as path to nowhere

Morning still coloring the buildings

Kaleidoscopic skyline

escape

We need isolation from everything to find our

tranquility

We need to swim against the tide of stupidity,

we made it into a tsunami

Are we sleeping with our eyes wide open?

And what do you see when you close your eyes?

Close your eyes

Silhuette of a slumbering city

Roads entwine as path to nowhere

Morning still coloring the buildings

Kaleidoscopic skyline escape

Do what you do

it’s your choice to make

Be a part of the world that isn’t part of you

I’m beginning to realise

you have such a perfect disguise, when

nobody knows, so nobody cares

You’re beginning to sacrifice

all you are

through their eyes you see yourself for the first time

Life is just a game of Russian roulette

with no empty chamber

You place your bullets with care and conviction

So you can feel you control

all the mistakes you avoided for so long

How wonderful

is your outcome

Do what you do

it’s your choice to make

Be a part of the world that isn’t part of you
