I’ve wanted this all along

A concrete beating heart

A landscape I can bleed up-on

This dark city my breeding ground



Nails within the darkened sand

Artificial light ascends

Clarity of vision breaks

The shackling of days ahead

Taken from the solace of home

Veins reclaimed by hardened stone



Take me from my solace

This dark city’s mine again



I’ve wanted this all along

This dark city [2x]

My breeding ground



The streets are whispering



The hope is in my veins

Clawing & deprived

A hopeful heart will waste

Every moment of precious time



Helpless as I watch my dreams divide



I’ve wanted this all along

A concrete beating heart

A landscape I can bleed upon

This dark city my breeding ground



Artificial light ascends

The path of which my heart accepts
