Smokestacks and Concrete Walls by Thrnenkind Lyrics
We've grown up among smokestacks and concrete walls
Ashes in our lungs
Fire in our hearts
Bereft of all warmth
Again I am walking
Through your city, haunted
By the aching in my stomach
We follow the paths of our careers
To drop dead consumed by our fears
When I would try to drag down
What drags me down
I would need to dash this whole
Moloch to the ground
I know how it feels
To be the lowest of the low
That's over now
I'm not a griever, but no coward either
I throw myself on the hard floor of reality
Back on my feet I drag myself
Through your shitty Hollywood lives
Maybe I'm still a slave to my fears
But maybe you're just the fucked up I am
Maybe it will all come down, but we won't drown in vain
We will tear your world apart
Forever against the grain
Ashes in our lungs
Fire in our hearts
Bereft of all warmth
Again I am walking
Through your city, haunted
By the aching in my stomach
We follow the paths of our careers
To drop dead consumed by our fears
When I would try to drag down
What drags me down
I would need to dash this whole
Moloch to the ground
I know how it feels
To be the lowest of the low
That's over now
I'm not a griever, but no coward either
I throw myself on the hard floor of reality
Back on my feet I drag myself
Through your shitty Hollywood lives
Maybe I'm still a slave to my fears
But maybe you're just the fucked up I am
Maybe it will all come down, but we won't drown in vain
We will tear your world apart
Forever against the grain
