Rotting

I've been shielding my possessions

From the ever-pouring rain

God damn these city streets

I've been worn-down in their grain

I've been chasing warm magenta

In this world so colourless

I've been taking in the graces

Of your complete incompleteness

And somewhere in the darkness

There's a small glow

Blow the embers darling watch this flame grow

We'll raze their hopes and dreams to the ground

This is our wrong

Let's burn these castles down

I've been sitting lonely on the roof

The rain has been tumbling down

Hear the rolling thunder rumbling way off over town

I've been sitting slowly rotting

From the wet in this sodden air

Never able to get dry I'm stuck fast

I'm going nowhere

And somewhere in the darkness

There's a small glow

Blow the embers darling watch this flame grow

We'll raze their hopes and dreams to the ground

This is our wrong

Let's burn these castles down

I was taking my possessions

From the old ladies next door

In the twilight of their winter years

They don't need them much no more

I've been closer closer to the edge

It's been brinkmanship at its best

I've given them everything I've got

But they've given me nothing back

And somewhere in the darkness

There's a small glow

Blow the embers darling watch this flame grow

We'll raze their hopes and dreams to the ground

This is our wrong

Let's burn these castles down

Let's burn these castles down
