Highrise Lyrics

Ming & Ping Highrise

i walked too close to edge
just to try to receive you
your signals transferring clear
but there’s nobody here

i wasted all of my time
looking up at the sky
i search for zeroes and ones
but the signals had died

secrets never listen
secrets only tell
secrets turn to whispers
and whispers turn to yells

now all your secrets driving
where city meets the sky
‘cause no one ever told you
that secrets never die

i tie a thin black line
into the form of a letter
antennas reaching high
pointing up at the sky

i walked too close to edge
just to try to receive you
your signals transferring clear
but there was nobody here

secrets never listen
secrets only tell
secrets turn to whispers
and whispers turn to yells

now all your secrets driving
where city meets the sky
‘cause no one ever told you
that secrets never die…

(and all these secrets never tell
but all these whispers turn to yells
and all these transfers die right in front of you)


looking up from the ground
at all these places you’ve found
all these people around
you’re suffocating in sound
your signals transferring clear
but there’s nothing to see here

now you’re ready to fly
now you’re ready to die
shooting up at the sky
but you’re not sure why
signals transferring clear
but there’s nothing to see here
