City Lights And Silence

I bought the view to get away from the sound (away)

Now it's only quiet when I'm looking down

We put the work in,

we run the whole town

The city paid for the view,

but you paid for the quiet (shhh) They want to hear the

noise, but I am staying silent

High up on the top floor,

we built an empire No days off,

we just keep fueling the fire

Gold on my wrists and the keys to the gate

Never on time but I'm never too late Started with nothing,

now look at the plate We make the rules and we master

our fate (for real)

I bought the view to get away from the sound (away)

Now it's only quiet when I'm looking down

We put the work in,

we run the whole town

Late night driving, watching headlights bend

Counting up the blessings that we don't just spend

Real ones with me,

we don't have to pretend

This is just the start,

it's not the end

We wanted peace so we climbed up high Now we're touching the

sky (touching the sky)

No looking back, we fly

I bought the view to get away from the sound (away)

Now it's only quiet when I'm looking down

We put the work in,

we run the whole town

Yeah,

just looking down... It's quiet now.
