Behind iron
bars
They watch us with their shaken minds
We take their lives
And there’s room for questions
To be asked
We’re gonna
start a fire
Send the battle back to their homes
Answer your lies!
And don’t you dare question
Ever again
There’s an echo in my mind
A familiar feeling
I am wide eyed and waiting
Time is wasted tonight
There’s a glitch in my mind
Nostalgic and tragic
An itch beneath my skin
But nothing’s happening
The sky stopped turning
And there’s dust in the air
Every breath is wasted tonight
Still waiting, anticipating
I can’t stay
Pardon me for the inconvenience
But there’s another dimension in my bed
That I’d like to drown in
Don’t worry
I’ll leave with a smile
As we were all taught to do
In this beautiful city
Truth be told I can hardly wait
For gravity to lose grip of me
So I can slip into that gap
A dream within a dream
After all these years
The field by your house is wild as ever
The rose red cherries are still as sweet
The walls bare, the barbwire rusty
Just like our minds
Still, something’s changed
The way you look away
Yet your words are so sweet
Those empty promises between us
Perhaps someday, we’ll find a ladder
So we can climb
