Between Buildings Lyrics

nothing in these streets reflects the sound in me
the houses all died tonight and kept their static stare
and i've been waiting at a station with the deadwaight of a nation on my shoulder blades
and i've been reaching for a hand, picking a friend to understand, moved by a strange girl's voice
hear me out, pull me in, hide me in the mystery
i'm walking here, nothing's clear, i'm walking lines that i can't see
i need you to take this weight tonight
i need you to save it all, save it all, save it all tonight
each building distinct and right there, solide beside the next
each passer-by at a proper distance, keeping a balanced pace
but i've seen us waiting in the shades, i've seen us falling at the gates too tired to make a knock
with all the money that we spend, the signs of progress we defend, praising our happiness

hear me out, pull me in...

i see faces all in place happy with the bonds they tie and break
i see people holding hands as if there was no weight at all
it's a wonder how they wear themselves so well
i wonder how they wear themselves so well
hear me out, pull me in...
