Lyrics
--

In a city that never sleeps
A pity they never dream
Forced shackles of reality
Limits what you see
In the middle of limbo
Buildings and limousines
Structure of no substance
Glued to the video screens
Worship those pixels
And the bigger machine
These vigilantes of justice
Are just the interim regime
Only fighting 'cause
They got children to feed
Forsaken morality
They'd rather sit in the sheets
Dreaming of what once was
Shunned us from the dimming streets
Lights flicker by the construction
Of the public guillotines
You're confirmation of conformity
Is a ticket to life
Individuality isn't something
That you get to decide
Can't pass the city limits
That isn't in our design
In this prison confined
Without seeing the bars
That you're sitting behind


Gotham can't sleep
It's dark and it's cold
The streets are absent
Of heart and their soul
It's hard to behold
Thrown into the parts of unknown
Who will save us
When parliament won't


Trying to solve a puzzle
Without a meaning
The sun is doubtful
Another cloudy evening
Stuck in this hell
Surrounded by Eden
But you've never reached the walls
To actually get out and see it
A cult of paranoia
Told it's all in your head
But you and I know
That Gotham is dead
Found yourself inside the comic you read
Vague familiarity and remodeled the rest
Kept from freedom
As post modern as it gets
Protesters on the side walk
Are lobbying for arrests
But the only ones seen as hostile are them
Cameras and frequent property checks
Made to feel bad
And pray to God in regret
Tortured and forced posture is kept
You will not cry
You will drop and accept
Facing a judgment you thought
You only got at your end


The wind whistles
Like whispers in your ear
Can't tell if it's something
You think or you hear
Your own thoughts are lost
It builds to your fear
The symptoms are clear
Someone thinks for you
The city has more life than you
Everything is watching
Everything that you like and you do
Already know the career path
You'd like to pursue
Tuned out a slave to perception
A model citizen
You follow the traits to perfection
You're so far inside
It's too late so accept it
Those too brave to become it
Are in chains and abducted
For making assumptions
That's all truth is here
Just a vacant production
To make you feel it's real
Every day that you function
So surrounded you can't believe anything else
The age of corruption


A city that can't sleep
A city you can't leave
A city with no dreams
You will die in this city
Of villains and no peace
So try in vane
But history repeats
In a city that can't sleep
A city you can't leave
And everything is real
You're alive in this city
'Cause this isn't a dream
So try in vane
But history repeats
