Cities are stones
2
People aren't important
3
People breed and die
4
They come and they go
5
Faithless
6
But stones are true
7
They don't die
8
They don't go anywhere
9
Stones talk like our fathers talk
10
Languages of hope & fear
11
that we don't understand
12
Like poetry
13
Nobody understands
14
Nobody understands
15
All the words that we've cherished for so long
16
fall on deaf ears
17
Children, hear our hopes and fears
18
Hope and fear
19
In awful solitude they and we
20
speak past each other
21
whispering in the dark
22
strange talk
23
Nobody understands
24
Nobody understands
25
All the words that we've cherished for so long
26
fall on deaf ears
27
Children, hear our hopes and fears
28
Hope and fear
29
The sun sets and people flee
30
and in the surrounding hills
31
they huddle against the empty darkness
32
around suburban campfires
33
Above in the sky the stars come undone
34
Below in the city there's nothing but strange talk
35
It feels like all the faded hopes that never were
