Tether your hopes on a city full of ghosts
You are all alone under Uranium City lights
As you screamed through the mezzanine
Wakin' up I know it's hard to fill the hole with a dream
I know the vandals won't strike twice
While there's bodies there in the mines
I know the tailings build the roads
I hope the radiation's low
All these terrible decisions comin' on
Are they comin' for us or not?
Inside of me the poison screams
Runnin' out of time to find the space and the need
I know it's hard to negotiate the dream
I know you're workin' in the cold
Still got your father's eye in your skull
After the mines they all closed
You found your father in the snow
All these terrible decisions we forgot
Are they coming for us or not?
I wanna give it time, grow up alone
Called from the mountain top
You said, "All that's left are tableaus"
Maybe it's a matter of time
Back on the edge of an open pit mine
Maybe it's all workin' out
Never thought I'd be the one embracin' the doubts
I know it's hard to negotiate the dream
Maybe I can hear you scream
I know it's hard to negotiate the dream
Maybe I can hear you scream
