It started with the rumours of something
Happening a world away
We closed our eyes believing
That this couldn't happen these days
But suddenly the waves were upon us
The system pushed to the brink of collapse
And the world we thought immutable
Now feels like it might not last
Now everything is different
But somehow looks the same
The architecture stable
But the soul has changed
We live in isolation
But under the same sun
The quiet cities wait
Until these days are done
There's danger when someone gets too close
Their breath could be more than air
So we put the distance between us
To try and keep our space clear
Now all of the signs flash warnings
And so many shelves lie bare
Confronted with our fragility
It's hard these days not to feel scared
Now everything is different
But somehow looks the same
The architecture stable
But the soul has changed
We live in isolation
But under the same sun
The quiet cities wait
Until these days are done
Now everything is different
But somehow looks the same
The architecture stable
But the soul has changed
We live in isolation
Is this our setting sun?
The quiet cities wait
Until these days are done
