City Sins

Tall walls they won't
Let up on my throat
Fear has encroached
On every life
Life thrives in the dark
Old scars leave their mark
Street beats with no heart
Is it by design

Based in a need
No hands are clean

Rec parks play their part
Rolled dice pull apart
Collars, void and dart
The homeless truth
Have your eyes seen enough
Naive from the start
Palmed hands, that's a bluff
The smile reveals

Based in a need
No hands are clean

Based in a need
No hands are clean

Disgust and grey hairs trapped in a suit
Harpies they swarm and smell the black fruit
This time they go in
Embrace city sins
Slowly, you'll get over it

What peace will you give
To make it through
The price on the tag has a hold on you
I want out of here

Averted eyes
A solemn gaze
We walk alone
Amongst the haze
A broken light
To guide the way
We walk alone
