first, the night, the rain, the blinding from the right
our window frame, insistent yellow light
they know our names
they know we are inside
next, the dark, the rain, the hollow dogs that bark
they hate the night,
our window frame, insistent yellow light
they know our names
they know we are inside
next, the dark, the rain, the hollow dogs that bark
they hate the night,
they bark because they bite
they watch the wall,
before the shadows part
who’s gonna walk that line?
then, the sky, the rain, the crying of a child
a mother sighs
nowhere left to hide
they know our names
they know we are inside
a world could be in flames
they only know our names
who’s gonna walk that line?
last, the start, the rain, the beating of our hearts
a family kneels, a doorway down the hall
a last reveal and then a curtain call
the world could be in flames
they only know our names
who’s gonna walk that line?
the world can be in flames
in other news around the nation
investigation
