Lyrics and translation

Original

Well, you broke the shell and then found yourself in another field, in another place, in another world.
Where the buildings rise tall as anything and surrounded by all the places where you could die.
But we're always trapped in the city walls, we're always caught within the city walls looking in, looking in.
But I'm here with you in the city walls, and they can't hurt us within the city walls.
'Cause if they do, if they do. . .
they lose.
Are you still aware of the space and time?
Do you think they know that they're only wasting their mind?
Although the world doesn't work for us, we can make our way 'til we finally turn to dust.
But we're always trapped in the city walls, we're always caught within the city walls looking in, looking in.
But I'm here with you in the city walls, and they can't hurt us within the city walls.
'Cause if they do, if they do. . .
they lose.
We embrace the dirt, celebrate the hurt 'til we find a way to a different day every day.
And we will drown the walls 'til the city falls, and we stay in place 'cause there's nowhere else we know.
But we're always trapped in the city walls, we're always caught within the city walls looking in, looking in.
But I'm here with you in the city walls, and they can't hurt us within the city walls.
If they do, 'cause if they do. . .
Though we're always trapped in the city walls, we're always caught within the city walls looking in, looking in.
But I'm here with you in the city walls, and they can't hurt us within the city walls. 'Cause if they do, if they do. . .
they lose.
They lose.
