Sleep, sleep with the lights on

Shuttered with shades drawn

There's too many windows

Cars on the freeway

Tempting a clean break

But there's nowhere left to go

Watching the roots weave

Through cracks in the concrete

Plates, they will shift

A burning reminder

Of where we belong, love

With walls built up around us

The bricks make me nervous

They're only so strong, love

Yes they're only so strong, love
