Alpha Shallows

He could fall and she can weep

But as holy are my feet

And hard with mention but dear

They may not speak

We fell tight when there is tension

And our eyes could make us weak

And his heart was full of fire at

The man he had become

His soul was seldom higher

With the falsities of fun

Could he embrace sweet desire

As in moments as they pass

He feared it evermore

He sees it doesn't last

We walk up Holland Avenue

And watch the rich as they consume

Their product made our hearts exude

Emptiness unrivaled

By the hunger that I could control

He'd pray up to his God

That he might save his soul

But the gray in this city is too much to bear

The gray in this city is too much to bear

And I believe you are meant to be seen

To be understood

I want to be held by those eyes

I want to be held by those eyes

You'll work your thumbs till they're sore

You'll work my heart till it's raw

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
