I tend to wonder if these days would be different
And in what ways if we would have listened
If we did not (Shh) everything up
I would walk around this big city with pride
The only reason I'm still here is what you left inside
This heart that's seen it all committed
The silence made us all complicit
Wise or wicked, who's to know
Tears of a million people
Won't make a sound
They'll drip in the endless sea of
All the shameless self-doubt
I know I'm exactly sure
It's time for starting over
If we're ever washed ashore
Before we drown here in this water
Everything's broken, look at the people you adored
They left you hopeless, and found a new place for our gold
Our future sleeps on the streets of Budapest
And slowly everybody leaves
They'll all forget the same lullabies
(No need to fix any checklist)
The same lullabies
(Everything's fine)
Inside this heartless place we chase the unremarkable
We broke down walls, and fiddled with keys at the door
Wise or wicked, who's the one to know, my dear?
There's only silence here
Tears of a million people
Won't make a sound
They'll drip in the endless sea of
All the shameless self-doubt
I know I'm exactly sure
It's time for starting over
If we're ever washed ashore
Before we drown here in this water
Here's to a million people
All around the world, don't wait till
The silence overwhelms you completely
London, Paris, Washington, can you hear me?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Hey!
