In a Cramped World Behind the Wire

[Verse] It creaks with a heavy boot, Divided and torn in two. A pile of trash by the root, Under paper... is it right to you? Thick and heavy, the sky hangs high, The summer sun, a searing glow. City is melting, stripped bare and dry, Waiting for answers it doesn't know. [Chorus] Waving hands with a hollow grin, Greetings they’re throwing. In a cramped world, wire-thin, Grey is the uniform showing. Grey is the color... like a wall, Grey is the color... like the end. Silence stands between us all, Silence you didn't intend. [Verse] Everything shrivels deep inside, Under their piercing, steady gaze. Don't look at them, run and hide... Heart is a riot, a frantic blaze. Like a hammer, it beats in the chest, Breaking the ribs from the inner heat. The city is silent, put to the test, Counting the steps of your retreating feet: one, two, three... [Chorus] Waving hands with a hollow grin, Greetings they’re throwing. In a cramped world, wire-thin, Grey is the uniform showing. Grey is the color... like a wall, Grey is the color... like the end. Silence stands between us all, Silence you didn't intend. [Bridge] To escape! You want to escape. At the sight of the grey... to breathe! You're forgetting how to breathe. But feet into asphalt are sinking deep, But the air is frozen, like cement. The last of your strength is hard to keep... This is your final moment... [Outro] But you can’t! Stumbling, you wait... You’re too late! They’ve arrived...
