Big City Noise

The moon is sick tonight
And the sky is bruised
Now that the stars are gone
The streetlights maintain their abuse
In the big cities
Nobody ever gets to sleep
From the shuffling and shouting
Of the people living in the streets
A soft and humming choir
Composed of passer byers
A soft and humming choir
Sings until time expires
We’re up awfully late
Serving medication trays
We’re up awfully late
Listening to window panes
Gone are sunset livings
Gone are dreams of dawn
There is no one left breathing
Because the will is gone
A soft and humming choir
Composed of passerbyers
A soft and humming choir
Sings until time expires

Put the mask over your mouth
Or you’ll get it too
Put the mask over your mouth
Or you’ll get it too
Put the mask over your mouth
Or you’ll get it too
Put the mask over your mouth
Or you’ll get it too
Make sure to lock your window
Cause you never know
Make sure to lock your window
Cause you never know
Safe and sound
Safe and sound

When another person’s born
Another person dies
It all comes back around
To haunt you
When another person’s born
Another person dies
What is that?
Right behind you
And I’m tired
But luckily for me
It’s all downhill
From here
And I’m tired
But luckily for me
It’s all downhill
From here
When another person’s born
Another person dies
It all comes back around
To haunt you
When another person’s born
Another person dies
What is that?
Right behind you
And I’m tired
But luckily for me
It’s all downhill
From here
And I’m tired
But luckily for me
It’s all downhill
From here

The Butcher's Song
04:37
|

You’re a butcher
With a new set of knives
And I’m the bones that used to be alive
All the strangers’ eyes
They can watch, watch the blood
Run down all sides
In summer my words were close
Come winter they’ve turned to ghosts
In summer my words were close
Come winter they’ve turned to ghosts
I’m off my feet
Feeling quite empty
Literally
And I’m off my feet
Laying here wishing
That this was a dream
In summer my words were close
Come winter they’ve turned to ghosts
In summer my words were close
Come winter they’ve turned to ghosts
You’re a butcher
With a new set of knives
And I’m bones that used to be alive
All the strangers’ eyes
They can watch, watch the blood
Run down all sides
