Violent Strings
(mm-ahhh) Watch how the pavement turns cold Nothing stays clean out
here
Stepped out, collar up against the rain Too many faces caught up
in the pain
Counting steps on the corner till the night turns gray Nobody talks
about the ones who got away Keep the circle tight,
heavy on the stride Ice in the chest,
nowhere left to hide (aah-mm)
Every silhouette comes with a price
Roll the dice once,
won't roll it twice
Look into the cold
Cold concrete, hearts turn frozen
Only surviving, we were never chosen
(ahhh) Heavy in the chest when the sirens sound Heavy on the
feet when we hold this ground Cold concrete,
shadow in the fog Running from the truth through the alley dog (mm-aah)
Two hands steady when the stakes get high Clouds hang low under
iron sky Never had an option,
never had a break Weighing up every single move we make They
see the fire but they miss the smoke Turn another corner where
the rhythm broke
(ahhhh) Just an empty lane
Wash away the chalk and wash away the name
They don't know the cost
Cold concrete, hearts turn frozen
Only surviving,
we were never chosen
(ahhh) Heavy in the chest when the sirens sound Heavy on the
feet when we hold this ground Cold concrete,
shadow in the fog Running from the truth through the alley dog (mm-aah) (ahhh-mm)
Cold concrete...
