Rift in the Glass (versione 2)

Verse

Smoke rolls off the brake lines, a slow fade to black

Engine coughs like an old man with nothing left to pack

I watch the streetlights die behind my head

Every exit out of this one's already dead

Pre-Chorus

So what do I need? A map to nowhere I've been

A reason why the sirens are playing the same tune again

The night don't care for names or who owns the wheel tonight

Just smoke and static, a long way down from the light

Chorus

Rift in the glass, that's how it starts

Every road leads out into the dark

I don't need a map when I've got this feeling in my chest

We're all just chasing shadows where the sun used to rest

Verse

Tail lights flicker on the wet pavement like fireflies

A whole city full of people running for an open door that doesn't exist

I watch them from inside my own head

Every one a ghost already, long before they're dead

Pre-Chorus

So what do I need? A map to nowhere I've been

A reason why the sirens are playing the same tune again

The night don't care for names or who owns the wheel tonight

Just smoke and static, a long way down from the light

Chorus

Rift in the glass, that's how it starts

Every road leads out into the dark

I don't need a map when I've got this feeling in my chest

We're all just chasing shadows where the sun used to rest

Bridge

The whole city's been burning for years

This is just one small spark on the same old streets

No doors that open, no roads that lead out of here

Just me and you standing at the edge, looking down into nothing but sound

So maybe we don't need a map after all

Maybe this is just how it starts

Static and smoke where the city used to be

Chorus

Rift in the glass, that's how it starts

Every road leads out into the dark

I don't need a map when I've got this feeling in my chest

We're all just chasing shadows where the sun used to rest
