City Walls Lyrics by Twenty One Pilots (with Guitar Chords)

City Walls Lyrics

Verse 1
Square up with me, I can take your right, throw a left
Pair up with me, I'ma take you right to the chest
Warpath etched in the surface
Lines of the yellow tape, they're movin' quiet like a
Serpentine in a formation
Buddy, that's my team, pretty impatient
Now they're waiting on me
It might be the furthest we've reached
Now move it up, move it up, it's a breach

Chorus
I wonder where you are
I wanted you to show me
The way around those city walls
The way on through
I wonder where you are
I wanted you to show me
But now the night has fallen
Abandoned by the sun

Verse 2
Square up with me, I can come to you, tell me when
Pair up with me, I can run on you, in the end
I write a promise in pencil, but my loyalty's in pen
Use a mistake as a crooked stencil, then we trace it back again
From the mainland to the island of violence
It was the same plan for a while, decided
To send me up and rip you out of your seat
You see, in a city with no entrance, there is not a retreat
I'm wondering what you thought would happen, who you thought I would be
Was this a sideswipe, or did you picture this in a dream?
Buckle down, this is possibly the furthest we've reached
Now move it up, move it up, it's a breach

Chorus
I wonder where you are
I wanted you to show me
The way around those city walls
The way on through
I wonder where you are
I wanted you to show me
But now the night has fallen
Abandoned by the sun

Post-Chorus
Abandoned by the sun

Bridge
My smile wraps around my head, splitting it in
Two, two, two, two
I don't have a clue how I can keep the top half
Glued, glued, glued, glued
My smile wraps around my head, splitting it in
Two, two, two, two
I don't have a clue how I can keep the top half
Glued, glued, glued, glued

Chorus
I wonder where you are
I wanted you to show me

Outro
Entertain my, entertain my
Entertain my, entertain my
Entertain my, entertain my
Entertain my, entertain my faith
This is the last time, this is the last time
Entertain my faith
This is the last time that I try
Address my soul, address my soul, address my soul
Entertain my faith
This is the last time that I try
