He could fall and she could weep But as holy are her feet and hard with mention But dear they may not speak We fell tight when there is tension and their eyes could make us weak
And his heart was full of fire at the man he had become And his soul was seldom higher with the falsities of fun He could embrace sweet desire as in moments as they pass But he feared it ever more, when he saw it didn't last
We walk up Holland avenue and watch the rich as they consume Their product made our hearts exude emptiness unrivalled by
The hunger that I could control And he'd pray up to his God that he might save his soul
But the grey in this city is too much to bear
The grey in this city is too much to bear And I believe you are meant to be seen but not to be understood
And I want to be held those eyes I want to be held those eyes
You'll work your thumbs till they're sore And you'll work my heart till it's raw and you'll call and you'll call but you'll never be told and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall and I'll fall
We are basic lies
We are basic lies
