Another night the city is glowing, and crying out “obsess”
Another night the streets are sparkling, like you, they will impress
Another night the city calls our names, and how can we ignore?
Another night the city will betray a promise made before

Darling, we must break the cycle
We commit such tempting crimes
Darling, we must break the cycle
Or we will run out of time

We spend the evening wasted as we dance among the architects
Of all the pain and pleasure we advance, but never will perfect
Surrounded by the loudest sound and yet the silence ever reigns
We’ll never warrant reason to be found till only bone remains

Darling, we must break the cycle
We commit such tempting crimes
Darling, we must break the cycle
Or we will run out of time
Darling, we must break the cycle
I refuse to live a lie
Darling, we must break the cycle
Otherwise we both will die

Another morning fills my head with shame, and finds me feeling sore
Another morning that I will proclaim “the end,” for help, implore
Another morning dying for a fix to heal my broken soul
Another morning I remain transfixed and without self-control
