We lie in bed for days

Empty bottles consuming empty space

I'm suffocating

If I go to you by train

it's forty-five blocks of seeing the same

expressionless face



Debris is falling from the burning sky

Ashes from a once luminous life

Burn a candle in the window so I know you're still alive

Breathing but dead inside



Let's help each other bake this bread

There's nothing I'd rather be doing instead

I hear there's a full moon rising

It's the same thing every night

The gunshots sing and the people scream

The harmonies of this city



Well I'm not happy either

Let's tear this one down

Rebuild on virgin ground

A new life begins
