lyrics

Welcome to Amygdalapolis
Check your bags where you came in
I hope you packed light
'Cause you wont last one night
Under this city of sin
Welcome to Amygdalapolis
Check your bags where you came in
I hope you packed light
'Cause you wont last one night
Under this city of sin

Grab the room key and I head through the hotel
All these funny faces looking at me like my breath smell
All the elevators in use so I take the stairwell
Oh well, guess I won't be needing to use the treadmill
Pick up the pace and I trip up the first flight
A hand reaches out and I grab it with no insight
But when I look up and I see what's staring down at me
That's when I see a flash and the stairwell is empty

Welcome to Amygdalapolis
Check your bags where you came in
I hope you packed light
'Cause you wont last one night
Under this city of sin
Welcome to Amygdalapolis
Check your bags where you came in
I hope you packed light
'Cause you wont last one night
Under this city of sin

Pick up my shit and I head to my room
Lock the door twice as my heart going zoom
Hoping what I saw was just dehydration
Or some explanation that makes sense to me
But soon I forget everything that I saw
So I leave all my shit and I head to the bar
But once I reach the lobby all I hear is silence, empty
And at the bar only two figures sit with full martinis

Welcome to Amygdalapolis
Check your bags where you came in
I hope you packed light
'Cause you wont last one night
Under this city of sin
Welcome to Amygdalapolis
Check your bags where you came in
I hope you packed light
'Cause you wont last one night
Under this city of sin

They gesture at their cocktails
So I take a sip
That's when I realize I've been here this whole time
And I never left
So I run to the lobby
And I head to the door
But where I came in wasn't where I left it times before

And when I turn around
The figures are gone
Everything melts away
And I'm left alone

Welcome to Amygdalapolis
Check your bags where you came in
I hope you packed light
'Cause you wont last one night
Under this city of sin
Welcome to Amygdalapolis
Check your bags where you came in
I hope you packed light
'Cause you wont last one night
Under this city of sin
Welcome to Amygdalapolis
Check your bags where you came in
I hope you packed light
'Cause you wont last one night
Under this city of sin
Welcome to Amygdalapolis
Check your bags where you came in
I hope you packed light
'Cause you wont last one night
Under this city of sin
