Pompeii

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?
 How am i gonna be an optimist about this?
 How am i gonna be an optimist about this?
 We were caught up and lost in all of our devices
 In your pose as the dust settled around us
 And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
 Great clouds roll 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?
 How am i gonna be an optimist about this?
 How am i gonna be an optimist about this?
 And if you close your eyes
 Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
 Oh where do we begin?
 The rubble or our sins?
 Oh oh where do we begin?
 The rubble or our sins?
