{heavy distorted guitar riff intro} {crunching power chords building
tension}
Cracked walls and leaking roofs
Empty cupboards, no relief
Feet on broken pavement Days drag on without relief (oh)
{raw vocal delivery}
No way out from this endless grind
Hope fades with every passing sign {building intensity with added guitar layers}
Trapped in these walls that crumble down
Fighting for scraps in this broken town
No light ahead, just the weight of the years
We carry the burden through endless tears (yeah) {explosive chorus with full
band} Children play in the dust and dirt
Dreams deferred, hopes deferred
Hands worn raw from endless work
Still we rise though it hurts
(hmm) {gritty rhythmic delivery}
Trapped in these walls that crumble down
Fighting for scraps in this broken town
No light ahead, just the weight of the years
We carry the burden through endless tears (yeah)
{explosive chorus repeat with added intensity}
Can we break these chains that bind?
Or are we left here
far behind?
{quiet breakdown then explosive
return}
Trapped in these walls...
{heavy final chorus
fade with repeating
riff}
