Dust creeps of the concrete
A whirlwind of silence and stillness lost
A picture of innocence
On the footpath never dreaming of waking up
A picture of innocence
Through the curtains, I see the angle take to the air
A picture of innocence
But her clipped wings can not support her
A picture of innocence
We are the broken we are the fallen
You’ll never take us alive
Down by the river a shift of a sliver
Your broken never alive
Talk up the rhetoric your guilt is pathetic
You’re broken never a lie
Down by the river
Dust creeps off the concrete
A whirlwind of silence and stillness lost
A picture of innocence
On the footpath forever dreaming of waking up
A picture of innocence
Please wake up
Don’t just lie there
We are the broken we are the fallen
You’ll never take us alive
Down by the river a shift of a sliver
Your broken never alive
Talk up the rhetoric your guilt is pathetic
You’re broken never a lie
Down by the river
