So this is darkness
So this is pain
Thought I'd seen disaster's face
I mistook it for the rain
The honeymoon is over
Shit's gettin' real
Oh, my city's not the same
And there's a light that won't go out
And there's a dread over my town
Like a black cloak draped across the columns
Holding up a cloud
There's a dread over my town
There's a dread that's looming in my head
So don't you leave me now
And I'm always just about
To have my breath taken away
It's not unusual
And if I'm ill-prepared assume
I don't want to talk about it anymore
He says he's always been the kind
To calculate and take his time with love
But patience turns to passiveness
And nothing ever happens when it does
Oh, my city's not the same
And there's a light that won't go out
And there's a dread over my town
Like a black cloak draped across the columns
Holding up a cloud
There's a dread over my town
There's a dread that's looming in my head
So don't you leave me now
I'm surrounded by scaffolding
My love's under museum glass
And there's a dread over my town
Like a black cloak draped across the columns
Holding up a cloud
There's a dread over my town
There's a dread that's looming in my head
So don't you leave me now
And there's a dread over my town
There's a dread that's looming in my head
So don't you leave me now
