Weight Below

The towers lean heavy in the gray Windows stare empty where the daylight fades

Streets swallow footsteps one by one Time pulls the color from every stone

Decay bites deep it never lets go Walls give way to the weight below Decay bites deep it never lets go We walk through ruin we call it home

Broken railings point at the sky Paint peels away like a final goodbye Shadows stretch long where the crowds once stood Every promise buried under rust and wood

I feel the anger rise in the hush The city fights back with a dying rush Yet something pulls me deeper still Through the ache that bends the will

Decay bites deep it never lets go We walk through ruin we call it home
