ERRA - Skyline lyrics

Cityscape skeletons taking shape
And growing skin
Layer and layer is peeled away
Exhausted from the repetition of
Always needing to rebuild
Worn down faces in colorful barren places

City lights and skylines
Guiding home our wandering minds
Tucking us into tortoise shells
Suppressing the outside sounds
Of relentless consciousness
Where is contemplative terrain
That sleeps with the setting sun?
This nocturnal apathy binging on
Shadow and smoke
It's endlessly coming undone

When the ground falls out
Who will take my hand?
When things fall apart who will take my hand?

I'd never thought that I could withstand
Falling short when I'm a broken man
You never knew how much I meant it in love
Every night I'm beside you weeks
Away when you're sleeping alone
Did you ever know how much I meant it?

Millions of tiny pieces looking
In on themselves
Reflected in the water, unaware of each other
Every piece could find it's place
Back in the puzzle
What was one is shattered into many
And longs to be whole again
But nothing ever fit's quite the
Same in the end

I'd never thought that I could withstand
Falling short when I'm a broken man
You never knew how much I meant it in love
I'd never thought that I could withstand
Falling short when I'm a broken man
Every night I'm beside you weeks
Away when you're sleeping alone
Did you ever know how much I meant it?

When the ground falls out
Who will take my hand?
When things fall apart
Who will take my hand?
