[Verse] The roof's a dream I cannot buy Walls too steep they scrape the sky Rent’s a joke it mocks my days A castle costs my soul to raise [Verse 2] Golden bricks don’t pave the ground Just price tags wrapped in smoggy sound Homeless souls their blankets torn In rich man’s shadow dreams are worn [Chorus] Metaphors for sale that's all they got Promised gold just turns to rot A broken city a shattered creed Laws for the rich prayers for the need [Verse 3] Politics a circus ring Clowns they dance while vultures sing Promises laid out like traps Truth melts under the purse’s clasp [Bridge] Behind smoked glass they pull the strings Control the sky the earth the spring While we the pawns we learn to crawl Climbing ladder rungs that never fall [Verse 4] These streets they whisper broken prayers Dreams expired left unaware The cost of hope too much to spend Welcome to the start’s bitter end
