They fenced the old town in Numbered every door Stamped our names in rows On a rusted board The sirens mark the hours The towers never sleep Every step is logged Every breath they keep Keep your head low Keep your voice small They track our heat They hear us all Don't look up now Don't look up now The sky has teeth And it knows my name Don't look up now Don't look up now If we run blind We become the same They load the trucks at dawn For the outer rings Families in a line Carrying quiet things I see you near the gate Tag around your wrist You ask if this is home Or a waiting list Hold my sleeve tight Hold your fear still If they scan too long They will take their fill Don't look up now Don't look up now The sky has teeth And it knows my name Don't look up now Don't look up now If we run blind We become the same Under the bridge beams The violins sound thin We were raised in ruins Then told it was our sin Hear that hum? It’s under the ground Don't look up now Don't look up now The sky has teeth And it knows my name Don't look up now Don't look up now If we run blind We become the same Don't look up now Don't look up now I bite back hard Till the dark gives way
