[00:19.397]Midnight
[00:20.970]I stare out the window from my room
[00:24.121]I hear the dogs it’s going to be dawn soon
[00:28.183]I wonder where you are
[00:32.918]In my mind’s eye
[00:34.949]I’m floating alone in the night sky
[00:38.362]The treetops, the buildings beneath me
[00:42.327]I feel my heart beating
[00:54.715]So I try to find anything
[00:59.136]To kill the time
[01:00.973]To quiet my mind
[01:03.715]There’s got to be something
[01:07.160]There’s got to be someone
[01:09.225]Else still awake in this city
[01:13.372]I can’t take another night
[01:16.933]I can’t stay
[01:18.686]I’ve got to break and break and break
[01:21.931]These chains away, away
[01:37.487]Bars close
[01:39.281]We stumble around through the echoes
[01:42.796]Hiding our past in some old clothes
[01:46.045]Like its some dirty secret
[01:51.807]And I see a face
[01:54.332]In the passing light
[01:56.080]It’s so good tonight
[01:57.634]I’m tired of putting up this fight
[02:00.721]There’s got to be somewhere
[02:04.207]There’s got to be someone
[02:06.053]Else still alive in this city
[02:10.581]I can’t hide another night
[02:13.846]I can’t stay
[02:15.990]I’ve got to break and break and break
[02:18.792]These chains away, away
[02:23.253]These chains away, away
[02:41.636]We lean into the wind
[02:44.123]Riding our nerves and choking engines
[02:47.669]Built for a time not 50 years old
[02:51.308]I can hear the whispering at the door
[02:55.139]When I’m alone in this cell
[02:58.337]With 10,000 words and nowhere to go
[03:01.690]And I wish you could know
[03:04.696]How much I still need you
[03:12.560]
[03:17.049]The spell of this town, the graves on the hill
[03:21.394]Lit up like a crown
[03:23.217]The names on the signs
[03:24.985]I can’t even say
[03:26.748]Have to break and break and break
[03:29.905]These chains away, away
[03:37.117]These chains away, away
[03:52.278]Sometimes I feel the pain
[03:55.035]At the heart of this ember
[03:59.309]All these ashes I choke on
[04:02.757]Does anyone remember
[04:06.397]Where we came from, where we came to
[04:09.872]A place with no center and no edge
[04:20.609]And no end
[04:31.754]
