    Lyrics
    Starry nights city lights
    Coming down over me
    Skyscrapers and stargazers
    In my head

    Are we we are, are we we are
    The waiting, unknown
    This dirty town was burning down in my dreams
    Lost and found city bound in my dreams

    And screaming
    Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
    And screaming
    Are we we are, are we we are the waiting

    Forget me nots and second thoughts
    Live in isolation
    Heads or tales and fairytales in my mind
    Are we we are, are we we are
    The waiting, unknown

    The rage and love, the story of my life
    The Jesus of suburbia is a lie
    And screaming

    Are we we are, are we we are the waiting, unknown,
    Are we we are, are we we are the waiting, unknown,
    Are we we are, are we we are the waiting, unknown,
    Are we we are, are we we are the waiting, unknown,
    Are we we are, are we we are the waiting, unknown.
