[Verse 1]
On the Bbstreets you look again
At the Cplaces you have been
Or the Gmoments that you thought
Where am I Dgoing
Though the Bbwalls are like the dead
They reCflect the things you've said
And the Gechoes in your head continue Dshowing
Near the Ccastles you can build
Out of Amdreams you half fulfilled
Won't keep Eout all of the ill wind that is Emblowing
And you Clook still for a trace
Of an Fmaj7opening in a place
Where you Fmaj7find the life that you were used to Cknowing
[Verse 2]
You can Bbwalk out in the night
And be Csure that its alright
To exGaggerate the world that's only Dbeing
You can Bbwatch Regina dance
Through the Ccrystal panes of glass
Yet you Gknow that there's so much that she's not Dseeing
Still you Chold one precious thought
After Amall this time you've sought
That she Emight be just protecting what she Emlongs for
And her Ceyes are veiled with black
Cause she Fmaj7plays she can look back
At the Fmaj7love she wanted so but says is Cno more
[Verse 3]
The lights go Bbon, commence the cold
As your Csenses will be sold
To the Gparrot watchers mimicing no Dreasons
To preBbtend that what they are
From the Cfact completely far
While the Gtruth may be betrayal, lies and Dtreason
Build their Ctowers in the sand
Down the Amroads at their command
While the Ekingdom is the innocence they're Emstealing
And inCfection easily spreads
To the Fmaj7searching, twisted heads
As they Fmaj7team up to tear down each others Cfeeling

Fmaj7

[Verse 1]

On the streets you look again

At the places you have been

Or the moments that you thought

Where am I going

Though the walls are like the dead

They reflect the things you've said

G D

And the echoes in your head continue showing

Near the castles you can build

Out of dreams you half fulfilled

E Em

Won't keep out all of the ill wind that is blowing

And you look still for a trace

Fmaj7

Of an opening in a place

Fmaj7 C

Where you find the life that you were used to knowing

[Verse 2]

You can walk out in the night

And be sure that its alright

G D

To exaggerate the world that's only being

You can watch Regina dance

Through the crystal panes of glass

G D

Yet you know that there's so much that she's not seeing

Still you hold one precious thought

After all this time you've sought

E Em

That she might be just protecting what she longs for

And her eyes are veiled with black

Fmaj7

Cause she plays she can look back

Fmaj7 C

At the love she wanted so but says is no more

[Verse 3]

The lights go on, commence the cold

As your senses will be sold

G D

To the parrot watchers mimicing no reasons

To pretend that what they are

From the fact completely far

G D

While the truth may be betrayal, lies and treason

Build their towers in the sand

Down the roads at their command

E Em

While the kingdom is the innocence they're stealing

And infection easily spreads

Fmaj7

To the searching, twisted heads

Fmaj7 C

As they team up to tear down each others feeling
