To Them These Streets Belong

so look in my eyes,
what will you leave behind once you’ve gone?
so precious
you got what you came
for now i think its time to move on
when will you see
but these ghosts come alive like water
and wine and walk through these streets
singing songs and carrying signs
to them these streets belong
my atonement lasts the best part of eternity
ran out of hands to count to sin that breeds inside of me
not this hate but the loneliness has left me here into this mess of love
my hands are soaking in the blood of angels
on boken wings they collapsed
will i see the break of day
dark clouds exploded and torrents of rain fell
all these lost halos wash away
head hung from shame we bear a weight that brings me to a crawl
these years of longing to tell of decades of unanswered calls
for a change, cuz everyday we slip and fall
kicked while were down, our fists clench into ball
my hands are soaking in the blood of angels
on broken wings they collapsed
will i see the break of day
dark clouds exploded and torrents of rain fell
all these lost halos wash away
so look in my eyes,
what will you leave behind once you’ve gone?
so precious
you got what you came for now i think its time to move on
when will you see
but these ghosts come alive like water
and wine and walk through these streets
singing songs and carrying signs
to them these streets belong
