Rails and Ruin

Wrong side of the tracks,

where the steel meets the cold dust Every single promise that we

made has turned to rust Standing on the corner,

we were looking for a way out Now we count the losses

in the city of a grey doubt

Oh, we carry the weight of the scars we don't show

Watching the trains in the cold rain below

(we still stand)

Choices in the dark,

yeah we had to make a hard call

Watching older brothers line up right against the stone wall

Family on my mind while I'm walking through the night shade

Never quite forgetting all the sacrifices they made

No turning back, now the pressure is ascending Writing out the chapters

but we never see the ending

Still standing upright, though the wind is biting colder Carrying

the

dreams of the neighborhood on my shoulder
