Concrete Hearts
Another Tuesday in the sprawl
Staring at the cracks inside the
wall
My veins are filled
with static and the rain
Just a needle skipping on the
same old pain
The neon hums
a lullaby for ghosts
Living in
the shadow of the lampposts
And the clock is ticking like
a landmine Counting down the seconds
of a decline I'm pulling on
the thread until it breaks How
much more of this city can
I take?
Oh, we got these concrete hearts
Beating in the dark,
falling all apart Yeah,
we're rusted out and built to
fail Just another ghost story in
the mail So keep your head
down, keep your eyes shut tight
We're just the debris in the
dead of night
With our concrete hearts
The subway's screaming like a dying
star
I'm walking home,
I don't know where we are
The sidewalk's cold,
it's biting at my soul
Trying to fill the empty with
a heavy toll
You sold your halo for a
pack of smokes
Now we're the punchline of all
their jokes
Oh, we got these concrete hearts
Beating in the dark,
falling all apart Yeah,
we're rusted out and built to
fail Just another ghost story in
the mail So keep your head
down, keep your eyes shut tight
We're just the debris in the
dead of night
With our concrete hearts
Break the pavement,
find the dirt
It's the only way to feel
the hurt Oh,
we got these concrete hearts Beating
in the dark,
falling all apart Yeah,
we're rusted out and built to
fail Just another ghost story in
the mail So keep your head
down, keep your eyes shut tight
We're just the debris in the
dead of night
With our concrete hearts
Concrete hearts Concrete hearts Concrete hearts
Yeah, we're just turning into stone
