(no subject)
I walked the stairs up to your floor, I was meaning to pay a long overdue call
A dark man opened up your door, "no english" he could say but that was all
And so sarah take care, I know it's better that you'll never get this letter
You left us no address, I know you did what's best, I know it's best
Through silence I can hear somehow the echo of your screams
There's memories in these walls, If he's not drunk he's crying now
He tore down all your dreams and made you small
When your eyes fall down you know you're like a crook
For a second we had everything it took
Nights forever long, we shut it off just right and we were wasting time
You know we could go, at a quarter to three? You're on
Fake it, say it's black, I know it's red you see
Time and time and time again it wasn't me? Yeah you know it was
We've gotta fix it fast, don't give up just yet
Well all you've gotta say is "you know we could go" at a quarter to three? You're on
I find I'm not myself today, I'm someone else and far away
And through these eyes I realize that every place I go is the same
The city breathes out heat tonight
She warms her people with her neon lights and in the dark they feel her sigh
And everybody comes to life cause
In the city people live
They take in all she has to give
And breathing out they breathe life in
So the cycle starts again
Morning comes it's still and soft
Darkness lifts, street lights turn off
Coffee brews, subway doors slide
And everybody comes to life cause
In the city people live
I might not know just everything
But what I hear is that you kind of brought this on yourself
Well not quite you, but some before
They set it up so that the one you're after sat on top, they put him in a privileged spot
They gave him everything he's got
And now he's keeping to himself, so send someone for your revenge?
Well maybe not revenge
It's been suggested that you're out to finish up your daddy's war
You say it's not okay for them to have enough to wipe us out, so why is it okay for you?
It seems to me that since no one's got their hands on anyone for what happened last year
You're using this as a distraction
If you stepped back a minute I would hope you'd see
Its better that you work this out yourself
I know you won't miss kids like us, but kids like yours will pay the price
How will they see you then?
I wonder what they think of your big plan to wipe those people out
This could be your biggest regret
The ice you're on has never been so thin
A dark man opened up your door, "no english" he could say but that was all
And so sarah take care, I know it's better that you'll never get this letter
You left us no address, I know you did what's best, I know it's best
