City of the Faceless - Seeming

They built a church

In the stairwell

Of a highrise

In the city

Nobody asked

They just did it

It just happened

In the city

In the city

In the city

She is not she

Is not he

Taking godhood

Tall and dizzy

I am the bull

Come to life

Stabbing bankers

Without pity

In the city

In the city

And when we go there

We will rise

And shed our bodies

We’ll be weightless

In the city of the faceless

Now we twist the trains

Stop the stoplights

Hex the history

In the city

Our breath turns to birds

And our kissing

Turns to tigers

Running swiftly

Through the city

Through the city

And when we go there

We will rise

And shed our bodies

And we’ll be weightless

In the city of the faceless

And I will lose my name with you

And I will fade away from view

As we both push on through and through

The hidden alleys no one knows

The unlit nights, the Chinatowns

Where every street is hallowed ground

Where sewers shake with revenant sound

That’s louder faster brighter

When we go there

We will rise

And shed our bodies

And we’ll be weightless

In the city of the faceless
