about

City Banks is the first single from Reverie.

lyrics

When the city banks empty out 
It’s no mystery, the kings and queens
Standing there against the grain

Mathy eyes trained to look away

Paper spindles handing out a sermon 
For the age of doubt



Mythic histories leave us bowing in our disbelief

We wait for the fog to lift
In the morning roads of the turning earth



And the discarded gods sit at their altars
In the shadows of the buildings that will ruin our brothers
We try our hardest to disappea behind the words we’ve created

To sedate each fear



When the systems start to run themselves

You take a seat, put up your feet

And watch as your beautiful child lifts a pillow to your face
