Empty Streets

from Leaving by The Sad Machines

	/

lyrics

Everyone around you.
'We'. 'Them.' 'Us.' We must.
When you see them coming,
You scream and shout, 'they're here!'
But it's never wrong to feel
Like there'll be no real 'one.'
Sing static with the whole
'We.' 'Them.' 'Us.' We must.

Saving every soul you see
'Cause its only after dark
That it all becomes so stark
You can't wake up. You can't break up.
