about

This song is about our cities and how they give and take from us

lyrics

The streets are dark and wet again, the lights reflecting off the road
Like any other night we meet to get out from the cold
The smell of spice and old blood, the alleys filled with hope and fear and then it’s nearly dawn
The sun is almost here to free us from shadows cold
Free us from cities too old

We build on top and then again
We crumble into our own floors and nothing grows round here
We bring it rolling in and on polluted highways we sail
Along in cages one by one our everloving hearts
Our wheels we think will free us from shadows cold
Free us from cities too old

Years will pass all the rivers dry and our bones will burn away
Dust will cover the trees and over the earth will fall our fate

It taught us how to take, it taught us how to live
And those who make mistakes are those who want to give
The vulnerable will fail to find the shelter promised by the brave
And what about the rest a million mouths to feed again and again
The promises that broke that we believed in
Taught us how to take and keep the rules they make
The city never slows, a million mouths to feed the city never knows
The tears that smear the streets we’ve worn away

Falling awake isn’t easy, now it’s too late to be kind
Someone will pay for the city, run to the hills for your life

No-one’s here to save the world so many of us we can’t move as one
