We have a tendency to downplay the power of what an individual or small group can achieve. Don't let your city/town get you to think otherwise!

lyrics

V1
There’s a symbol inside this city of mine
There’s a voice rising to the top & our feet can’t stop
Could it be our reflections cookin’ below the ground?
Distracted by a screen that bites with huge sunglasses on

CH1
Traces of fire | Working below us
No more to hiding / no more agonizing
ما في بديل to what was before
Where do you go when you fall asleep

CH2
Traces of fire | working below us
No more to fighting / no more compromising.
ما في بديل to what was before
Where do you go when you’re fast asleep?

V2
There is a chorus of voices in my head that I can’t deny
There is a pocket of holes inside our souls that we can’t see through.
There’s a hole of pockets inside our heads that we can’t deny
Pocket of holes inside our souls that just can’t see through.

our eyes
fades
to blank

CH 3
Traces of fire | working below us
No more to fighting / no more compromising.
ما في بديل to what was before
Where do you go when you’re fast asleep?
