We're the STRAY Animals Lyrics

Cracked pavement whispers under paws that tread

Streetlights flicker, painting shadows overhead

Another night falls, the city starts to breathe

But we're just phantoms, lost between the leaves

Of concrete jungles, where the echoes sigh

For a warm hand, a place to just lie by

The scent of scraps, a hopeful, fleeting tease

A hunger gnawing, carried on the breeze

Through the alleys, where the world turns blind

We search for solace, leave no trace behind

A fleeting shadow, a fleeting chance to be

More than the echoes of a broken plea

We're the stray animals, shadows on the run

No name to answer, no setting sun

To call us home, no gentle voice to hear

Just the constant rumble, and the rising fear

In eyes that watch us, with pity or disgust

We carry the burden, of a broken trust

Stray animals, beneath the cold moon's gleam

Living on the fringes, a forgotten dream

Rain on the tin roofs, a drumming lullaby

Huddling together, beneath a watchful sky

Sharing body heat, a silent, knowing glance

A fragile comfort, a desperate chance

To find a moment, of peace within the storm

To block the memories, of what kept us warm

Before the slamming door, the fading shout

The lonely feeling, of being thrown out

Sometimes a kindness, a hand that reaches low

A moment's solace, a flicker of warmth to know

But trust is shattered, a cautious step we take

Afraid of betrayal, for goodness sake

We've learned the hard way, the silence and the sting

That hope's a fragile, easily broken thing

Stray animals, we roam, we fight, we yearn

In the city's heart, where the lost hearts churn

Stray animals, with a fire deep inside

A will to survive, though the world denies

Scars tell the stories, etched upon our fur

Of close encounters, and the dangers we endure

The snapping teeth, the speeding, careless wheel

The constant struggle, that makes our instincts real

We move as one, a silent, watchful pack

Protecting each other, with all that we lack

No fancy breeding, no pedigree to show

Just a primal loyalty, that helps us to grow

Stray animals, we roam, we fight, we yearn

In the city's heart, where the lost hearts churn

Stray animals, with a fire deep inside

A will to survive, though the world denies.
