C#
You can't see the sun rise
B F# C#
When the buildings have grown too tall to see the skies
B F# C#
And the smog is too thick to be pierced by your eyes
B F# C#
By your eyes
B F#
By your eyes
C#
You can't feel the rain fall down
B F# C#
When you're locked in a box, nailed to the ground
B F# C#
And the muffled cries for help are the only sound
B F# C#
The only sound (sound, sound)
B F# C#
The only sound, sound, sound
B F# C#
The only sound, sound, sound
B F# C#
The only sound (sound, sound)
