It Stops Where It Starts

The tower blocks loom

They block out the sun

Water levels rising

The rats don’t know which way to run

Look at them the wrong way

Feel the back of the hand

No-one knows you here

You’ll never leave

You’ll never leave

My words fall on deaf ears

And it stops where it starts

And it all falls apart in the end

Lungs filled with fumes

Faces steeped in blood

Sinking feeling rising

We must find a greater good

Look at them the wrong way

Feel the back of the hand

No-one knows you here

You’ll never leave

You’ll never leave

My words fall on deaf ears

And it stops where it starts

And it all falls apart in the end

If I don’t open my eyes they won’t know I’m alive

So I’ll play dead, a dead man

I’ll play dead
