Smokestacks and Concrete Walls - Thränenkind

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
