Fallujah

I’ve wanted this all along
A concrete beating heart
A landscape I can bleed up-on
This dark city my breeding ground
Nails within the darkened sand
Artificial light ascends
Clarity of vision breaks
The shackling of days ahead
Taken from the solace of home
Veins reclaimed by hardened stone
Take me from my solace
This dark city’s mine again
I’ve wanted this all along
This dark city [2x]
My breeding ground
The streets are whispering
The hope is in my veins
Clawing & deprived
A hopeful heart will waste
Every moment of precious time
Helpless as I watch my dreams divide
I’ve wanted this all along
A concrete beating heart
A landscape I can bleed upon
This dark city my breeding ground
Artificial light ascends
The path of which my heart accepts
