Street Lights - Trapped Under Ice

I feel the warmth

Of the street lights

Police sirens in Baltimore

Over the sound of endless street fights

You can watch your life slip

Through your finger tips

Abandon all faith in love

For greed, blood, mistrust, hate and vengeance

I feel torn

Between good and evil

Hear the paramedics in the middle of the night

Rush to the aid of helpless people

As my life slips

Through my finger tips

Abandon faith in love

For greed and blood

And mistrust, hate and vengeance

It’s a way of life

That the sunlight never sees

There’s always blood in the city that bleeds

Because the cost of the drugs outweighs

The supply of the jobs, and the minimum wage

And we still want more

Murder in the streets of Baltimore

There is so much hate

That I can’t escape no matter what I do

So hard to face the reality

But it’s the truth

Thousands of lives spent in prison cells

With no future to look forward to

Separate the unreal from the real

And the untrue from the true
