Dying in New Brunswick |
You told me on your birthday all the things that this place had done to you. |
And in the streets you walk. |
You hide your face because they don’t believe that it’s true. |
They say it doesn’t happen that often. |
But it’s happening right now. |
I’m writing you this letter to let you know I’m not alright. |
And in this city the streets are paved with hate |
And you cry yourself to sleep tonight. |
And say «no, there aren’t enough love songs in the sky.» |
You counted down the days till you could say «Bye-bye, city, bye-bye» |
You’re walking down on Union |
You see the roads and know they’re apart of you. |
They say it doesnt happen that often |
But it’s happening right now. |
I’m writing you a second time. |
To let you know nothing here has changed. |
The streets are still paved with hate. |
So you can cry yourself to sleep tonight. |
Will you look back on this night |
As the day that ruined your life. |
Will you look back on these city streets and say, |
«Oh, God, where are you?» |
In these city streets I hide my face. |
I turn away when you look at me And every night when I try and sleep. |
I feel your hands all over my body. |
You streipped away the street signs and shot out all the stop lights. |
If you smashed away all the building what would you have left? |
