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