This city, it covers the earth which we walk
And it sets our selves in concrete
It covers our eyes, our lips and our minds
Like mother tucks us into our sheets
But sleep is for the weary, I am not about to fall
Into your carbon copy dreams
And the sunset on Sunday brings a sigh to my eyes
As the wind brings an age so serene
Mistakes go viral and hit the wires, the pictures we’ve seen
And this girl is buried in the wreck
But the wires that have put her there, she’s using once again
Pulling herself out by her neck
And the concrete quiets all of this, the sweet achieved indifference
It sets us into the earthen stone
Well the water is drying, quick, dive in. Just know that concrete makes no friends
When you are there, you will be all alone
And the saddest part of all of this is that it would’ve made no difference
In a society so flooded with these things
The past is pulled out from our fists and time is key in all of this
We can’t change what it gave but what it brings
And all the things that we still have, the air inside our lungs
We can dig until we sprout into the trees
And concrete can hold a thought, a whim a Sunday wind
But it cracks under the will of memories
And past is for the backwards man, the practices of waste
He is swinging for the wheat already reaped
And as we walk along the Earth, we talk of escape
But first, we must change the way we sleep
