lyrics

Nothing but raindrops inside the subways of Harlem.
Life gets backbreaking.
Humans dissolve into nothing.
Compassion's trajectory rams into him.
Stiff, the boy at the door;
she’s smashed the carriage within.
Long distance between them, lips struggle with words.
Free-falling together
adrenaline wing, fatal bird.
All the riverbanks broke In pater absentis.
Her response, nightingale force, beautiful, wordless.
Go on, open your mouth. Society resents it.
I’ve harboured this sentiment too, my craft of indifference.
How can it pro t us all
not to care for the careless?
Because at the end of the world there’s still your soul left
Sing, Hollywood, sing
the song unheard.
