Concrete Faces Lyrics

I used to go home

Now it's parts unknown

As echoes of the past

Fall away

Oh hometown

Where is your crown?

You're losing your teeth, as well

Once renowned

You've only gone down

Troubled life within your shell

The people that fill these places

How do they manage it all?

Shuffle 'round with concrete faces

Do they know they witnessed the fall?

Oh hometown

Why the big frown?

You're baring your teeth as well

Once renowned

You've only gone down

Troubled lives within your hell

Deterioration

And construction

Make more big empty boxes

As people sleep outside

In the rain

The people who fill these spaces

How do they manage it all?

Shuffle 'round with concrete faces

Do they know they witnessed the fall?

I feel like a ghost

After living as a host

Watching my home

Fall away

Oh hometown

Where is your crown?

You're losing your teeth as well

Once renowned

You've only gone down

Troubled life within your shell

Memories intact

Though places are gone

Or barely hanging on

Buildings filled with

Different souls

Somehow more filled

But much less whole
