Conscious Lyrics (interlude)

I was left to my own devices
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?
I'm gonna be an optimist about this
I'm 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 around around us

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

If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
I'm gonna be an optimist about this
I'm gonna be an optimist about this
I'm gonna be an optimist about this
I'm gonna be an optimist about this
If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
