We fall down
Water comes it rains down
This world is rotting
And we are going to drown
The street lights
In lines like weary soldiers
Shine as dim reminders
Of the sun
And as we crawl under the sky
Made of stone and we wonder why
The signs that tell you where to go
Won't help you escape
Or get you off the ground
Heaven is so boring
Goodness so trite
Bring me back to the mud
Bring me back down where nothing is right
I throw up your kindness
And leave it to die in dusty filth
Where is your kindness now?
I hold my head up high
Way down here where I scream and I growl
You think you're better than me
Because you made me?
I'll show you how fair the works of your hands
I take all your rainwater and I pour it sand
Grab my blasphemous throat
Strangle me in rage
I need a reason to hate you
Because you gave us no cage
An old man
Laughing at the whole world
With golden teeth he's smiling
As he screams at me on the concrete
These red lights
Never changing into green lights
They'll never change
I know it's time to run
We fade away so fast so slow
We've choices but we never know where to go
Jaywalking I run towards the station
One day I'll leave all these streetlights far behind
Expressways
Railroads, alleys, freeways
All of them are leading
Straight to the grave
