Roma

This is no city of lights
It’s a city of stone
This is not what it feels like to be home
Imagine standing in one place
For all of time
Everything here is ancient
And nothing minds
Roma Roma
You have swallowed me whole
Isn’t it lovely to be all unknown
Give me a temple that is overgrown
Give me a poem not thought through
Roma Roma
You’ve made me brand new
And I know that you’re cruel
But steal my breathe and it’s all so cool
The way You melt right into everything you’ve ever hld
And everyone who’s ver held you
Roma Roma
You have swallowed me whole
Isn’t it lovely to be all unknown
Give me a temple that is overgrown
Give me a poem not thought through
Roma Roma
You’ve made me brand new
And then the coliseum whispered
And I’ll admit I’m ashamed that I listened
What a gorgeous place to fly from
What a glorious way to die
Roma Roma
You have swallowed me whole
Isn’t it lovely to be all unknown
Give me a temple that is overgrown
Give me a poem not thought through
Roma Roma
You’ve made me brand new
