lyrics

Fall in, young hopefuls,
We make dreams here.
Starry-eyed, big pupils,
You will do well here.

Run around in circles,
Give us all a twirl.
Breathe in smoke, blow bubbles,
Difficult, I'm sure.

Of course this place will make you, but it will grind you down,
Your people will forsake you and you'll have none around.
For the City of Nomads has no friends and only the strong survive,
So pack your things and leave this place, 'cause you're better off out alive.
You're better off out alive.
You're better off out alive.
You're better off out alive.
You're better off out alive.

Sit right here and play this old man's game,
Climb the ladder and you'll see:
Snakes take up every fifteenth square
And riches only lead to misery.

Yeah, he might levitate you, or he could pull you down,
So careful who you speak to, on this side of town.
'cause the City of Nomads has no friends and you'll need some of those around,
So tear the walls down stone by stone and build up from the ground.
Build up from the ground.
Build up from the ground.
Build up from the ground.
Build up from the ground.
Build up from the ground.
Build up from the ground.
Build up from the ground.
Build up from the ground.

With a carousel of contributors & co-writers across all releases, currently performing as a five-piece, in violet continues to push the envelope of just how far one wild idea can go
