pompeii

I was left
To my own
Devi-oh-oh-ices
Many days
Fell away
With nothing to show

And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before
How am I gonna be an optimist about this
How am I gonna be an optimist about this

We were caught
Up and lost
In all of our vices
In your pose
As the dust
Settles around us

And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before
How am I gonna be an optimist about this
How am I gonna be an optimist about this

Oh, where do we begin
The rubble or our sins
Oh, oh, where do we begin
The rubble or our sins

And the walls kept tumbling down (Oh, where do we begin)
In the city that we love (The rubble or our sins)
Great clouds roll over the hills (Oh, where do we begin)
Bringing darkness from above (The rubble or our sins)

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before
Oh, how am I gonna be an optimist about this
How am I gonna be an optimist about this
If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all
