I will live and die in a city you call mine
Beneath a canopy of oil slick skies and teardrop streetlights
Mired in the disconnect the emptiness of the streets
When the belly distends it will all begin to tear at the seams
With our heads down
Streaked-mirror sidewalks reflect the lives we've lead
Suffocating small talk speaks of pride painted with the blood we've never bled
We are the faceless the beige the ignored
Shattering the weight we refuse to carry anymore
We are the abused the forgotten the observers from the shore
Of a sea disillusioned and destroyed by its own accord
An eye that beholds a beauty so discreet manifests itself as a strength you could never perceive
And With our heads down
Streaked-mirror sidewalks reflect the lives we've lead
Suffocating small talk speaks of pride painted with the blood we've never bled
