lyrics

I hear the city cry and moan beneath a dimming nervous sky
Whilst the pavements carry trouble to the agitated lights
Of the sleepless bars and aching towers glowing in the night
And there's people left alone by the side of the road and it doesn't feel right

I see the muddy park filling up with bits of people's lives
Yesterday's newspapers, plastic bottles, cans and reflected light
I see unsettled paths become scars on uneven ground
And the faith round here is dying. People looked but god can't be found.

And we sleep, with our death Masks pulled tight over our eyes.
And we sleep with white noise because our thoughts are too loud
And we sleep next to our phone's cos we just can't switch off anything, anytime for anyone.

I feel the air giving up, turned to smoke in my lungs.
And the grey water discontent that douses an ever dying sun.
Kids in balaclavas pose for photos against the bins.
And I've grown too old, too fast and without grace. 32 next to the grave
