Blaqk Audio – Dark Arcades lyrics

[Verse 1]
In a forgotten time, it happened like this
In a forgotten time, those forgotten kids
In a forgotten town, crept under the ground
I wanted their bones, you wanted a kiss

[Verse 2]
In a forgotten time, before they were dismissed
From that forgotten town, those forsaken kids
In a forbidden tongue, spoke of shadows to come
I search for the light, you searched for my lips

[Chorus]
They stopped the parade right in our stride
The music died
They unplugged the games, now we must play
In dark arcades

[Verse 3]
In a forbidden song, he sang out our names
In a forbidden song, you wrote of the same
Inappropriate hopes and hid it beneath
My pillow as I pretended to sleep

[Chorus]
They stopped the parade right in our stride
The music died
They unplugged the games, now we must play
In dark arcades

[Bridge]
Here we stay where we weren't meant to play
And every night, every night
As you write, I’m searching for the light
Oh, any light, any light
I play to the death, you’ll write out our life

[Chorus]
They stopped the parade right in our stride
The music died
They unplugged the games, now we must play
In dark arcades
They stopped the parade right in our stride
The music died
They unplugged the games, now we must play
In dark arcades
