The city’s alive with painted lies
We’re chasing dreams under darkened skies
Promises broken with every breath
In this city, love leads to death
I see your face, but I don’t know you
We’re tangled up in what’s untrue
This city’s poisoned what we had
Now all I feel is something sad
City of lies, we can’t escape
We’re drowning fast in what we fake
Every truth we told has turned to dust
In this city, there’s no one to trust
City of lies, it pulls us down
Burying us beneath the sound
I thought I knew you, thought we’d survive
But we’re lost in the city of lies
We used to dream of something real
Now we’re numb, too scared to feel
This city’s lights have burned us blind
We’ve lost the love we couldn’t find
City of lies, we can’t escape
We’re drowning fast in what we fake
Every truth we told has turned to dust
In this city, there’s no one to trust
City of lies, it pulls us down
Burying us beneath the sound
I thought I knew you, thought we’d survive
But we’re lost in the city of lies
The streets are cold, the lights deceive
In this city, there’s no reprieve
We thought we’d last, thought we’d stand tall
But in the end, we lose it all
City of lies, we can’t escape
We’re drowning fast in what we fake
Every truth we told has turned to dust
In this city, there’s no one to trust
City of lies, it pulls us down
Burying us beneath the sound
I thought I knew you, thought we’d survive
But we’re lost in the city of lies
City of lies, we fade away
In this broken world, we can’t stay
