Ghost of the Street

Verse 1

White lines

Gray smoke

Empty park bench on a winter night

Nobody looks

Nobody cares

Just a face in the freezing rain

Cold

So cold

Hunger bites like a winter wolf

Chorus

They don't see the blood on the street

They don't see the hole in the heart

We are the ghosts

We are the lost

Why do you turn away

Why do you turn away

Tell me

Tell me why

Verse 2

Searching eyes

Missing posters on a brick wall

Fading in the sun

Gone

Long gone

Mama cries till her voice breaks

Little shoes

Left behind

Pavement swallowing another soul

Darkness

Bitter darkness

The needle takes what the world forgot

Chorus

They don't see the blood on the street

They don't see the hole in the heart

We are the ghosts

We are the lost

Why do you turn away

Why do you turn away

Tell me

Tell me why

Bridge

Look at the child

Look at the man

Look at the mother

Who will stand

Who will speak

Who will fight for the broken ones

Justice is a word

Justice is a ghost

Justice is a lie we tell ourselves

Open up your eyes

Open up your heart

Open up the door

Chorus

They don't see the blood on the street

They don't see the hole in the heart

We are the ghosts

We are the lost

Why do you turn away

Why do you turn away

Tell me

Tell me why

Outro

Do you see them

Do you hear them

Don't walk away

Don't walk away

Just look

Just look

Please look

Tell me why
