lyrics

Something about the way
The setting sun hits the face
Of the glass and steel of the skyline
Cripples me, holds me down
Shivers straight to the spine
Shockwaves down to the root of it all
Ghosts in the alleyways
I wonder when they will fade
Statues frozen in gold
Stained windows to the soul
Brownstone corridors
Yellow lamps and corner stores
There’s no place in this borough safe for me to hide
Behind each door are memories
Entire world’s I’ll never see
Just remnants of that naïve light
I can feel it going, their grip is giving out
The street names shift around me and monuments tumble down
I wish I could take back every stupid thing I’ve said
I wish some twisted angel would push me off the edge
But madness wouldn’t bring back all the things I’ve left behind
Or give me the motivation to lift my nose up from the grind
So the best that I can do, as I drown in LCL
Is promise the ghost of summers past to make a heaven of this hell
