Lyrics

Verse 1

Wrong block wrong night

Wrong eyes on my back

Concrete smells like copper

And the moon is turning black

Pocket full of nothing but the lint and the static

Every exit a dead end every door a trap

Pre-Chorus

I should've listened to the whisper in my spine

Told me turn around boy you ain't got the time

Chorus

This is the wrong place

Wrong place to be me

Every shadow got a pulse

Every siren a decree

Wrong place

I'm a ghost in a nightmare scene

Wrong place to breathe

Verse 2

Grit on my tongue from the subway air

Graffiti like scripture on a wall of despair

Footsteps behind me sync with my own

I speed up they speed up we're carved from the same stone

A car pulls slow with the windows down

Nobody says a word not a single sound

Pre-Chorus

I should've listened to the whisper in my spine

Told me turn around boy you ain't got the time

Chorus

This is the wrong place

Wrong place to be me

Every shadow got a pulse

Every siren a decree

Wrong place

I'm a ghost in a nightmare scene

Wrong place to breathe

Bridge

Strike the match strike the match watch it flare

Lights up the faces that were never there

Strike the match strike the match hold it high

Burn the map burn the map say goodbye

Guitar Break

Verse 3

Ran through the alley with the broken glass art

Six flights up to a roof that falls apart

City on fire but the flames are just paint

Still my lungs keep screaming you ain't what they ain't

Wrong coordinates etched in my hand

Wrong destination in a promised land

Seven eight time nobody keeps

Seven eight time I count it in sleep

Pre-Chorus

I should've listened to the whisper in my spine

Told me turn around boy you ain't got the time

Chorus

This is the wrong place

Wrong place to be me

Every shadow got a pulse

Every siren a decree

Wrong place

I'm a ghost in a nightmare scene

Wrong place to breathe

Outro

Wrong place

Wrong place
