lyrics

Morning came, the shuffle of the day before
Goes on and on and on.
It’s going to start again, below my window
They will come along, along, along.

I see their faces every day, hidden behind the black.
They don’t belong.
They take their places and they pay, they don’t look back.
There’s something wrong.

People in boxes, deep behind the eyes is a pride so nameless.
Picking up the pieces they find so priceless.
Out in the street hungry eyes behind blank faces.

Evening came, silent in the streets.
But not for long. It’s never gone.
Resurrect the fire. Keep it warm.
Cold nights can be so long, so long, so long.

I see their faces every day, hidden behind the black.
They don’t belong.
They take their places and they pay, they don’t look back.
There’s something wrong.

People in boxes, deep behind the eyes is a pride so nameless.
Picking up the pieces they find so priceless.
Out in the street hungry eyes behind blank faces.

People in boxes, deep behind the eyes … nameless.
