Walk these streets, no one knows my name

City rain, I've come to fix my wings again

It's always the same, this brokenness, this shame

I don't know how long boy, I can play this flying game

You think its easy, then why don't you change?

You haven't been there, who are you to say

That above all this darkness, it's a clear clear day

Are you just gonna stand there, are you gonna take my pain away?

Always before, when I could no longer swim

I felt an arm under heavy limbs

Hey you, on the shore

Are you watching anymore

Are you going to pull me from this?

I need a hand under my ribs

I've seen their eyes, they'll do anything

Sell the only thing they have, to escape again

Out on the corner, selling ticket till the mourning

Crawl back to a bridge, to sleep it off until tomorrow

You could say, I bared my veins of my own sweet will

You were the first, boy, to clear your name, when trouble fell

You said "I'm not to blame" and I said I'm empty all the same, empty all the same...

I am this night, I am air rising from below

Under these miles of waste and stone

I am living, I am still warm

Always before, I had all ways before me

Before, now I'm always to find more before me, before me, before me

Hey you, who were before me

Be before me, and below me and above me, now, always and forever,

Be before me now, (after and before)
