These naked streets hide in their shadows the very core
Of human sadness
concealed behind layers of fog
Trapped inside an endless maze
we look for a reason not to give up.
But anything hurts, buried inside this mayhem
Another endless night
Dwells upon our heads
the clouds and the rain
Will flood the streets tonight
Another day to kiss goodbye
Another day buried
under concrete
Rain falls down on wilted dreams
Meeting the light halfway from death
an endless rainbow of black and greys
cutting the sky until it bleeds
black blood
Roaming endlessly in an all-consuming nightmare
stuck in a limbo overfilled by loss
We succumb to the stink of these naked streets
