lyrics

this journey's going to kill us
I taste ashes on my tongue
see bodies wretched and wounded
littered around us
but still we walk through the city
pretending we're asleep
each footstep meditated
eyes straight ahead

is this what you always wanted
cause you never ever tell me
anything but I can guess
see you eyes light up when I look back
you look so alive, so check my pulse

let's live our lives on the rooftops
gazing at the view
watch the buildings demolished
then rebuilt nice and new
watch the homeless all scatter
the shelter's been replaced
supplanted by the wealthy
it's all murals and gift shops

you pause for a moment
is there something you can do?
but nothing comes to mind
see the gold chain swinging in the breeze
lift your lips and look away, look away!

am I really so helpless (you are)
on my own I'm a single arrow
and it's all that I can do to stay awake

I'm sending one cross the country
a desperate flash on the screen
and maybe someone can find it
and send it back to me
it's so easy to feel safe
when the concrete cradles you
but it's victims are helpless
and they're ran straight through

so bury tomorrow in the waste of today
bury tomorrow in the waste of today
bury
