In The City

Xymox

Mornings when i wake too early

there's a dead light in the room

rain is falling through

the dark and the moon

the waking hour appears pretty soon

everyone is sleeping though

i lie in a curtained room



somewhere in a city

holding so many names

somehow in the distance

i've gone to ground

somewhere in a city

somewhere between the crowd

somehow in the distance

i've gone to ground



only the shadow remains

only the shadow of doubt

three years of memories

memories without a sight

the end of another year

how will i survive ?

how suddenly fear begins

in a bedroom on the floor



somewhere in a city

holding so many names

somewhere in the crowd

somewhere in the distance

somewhere in a city

holding so many names

somehow in a city

i've gone to ground



the light breaks slowly forward

across my bedroom wall

until it defines me somehow

in shadow of doubt

it finds my fugitive life

it's blurred, blurred with dust

only heaven collides

when i look above



somewhere in a city

holding so many names

somehow in the distance

i've gone to ground

somewhere in a city

somewhere between the crowd

somehow in the distance

i've gone to ground



somewhere in a city

somewhere between the crowd

somewhere in the distance

i've gone to ground
