Daylight Slaving

Lyrics for Daylight Slaving

I've seen it spiraling, then vanish in the wind I can't tell where the land ends and the sky begins Are you acquainted with the threat of being killed? Are you conversing with pigeons on the windowsill? And every battle has been fought And everything I think was thought Down and down we've descended Every day keeps getting shorter As my sleeves start getting longer And the sidewalks overflow Patronize pedestrians With no sense of direction I am lost and can't ask a question I've seen it spiraling, then vanish in the wind I can't tell where the land ends and the sky begins This city truly is assaulting my senses Unkempt, unruly, devour, defenseless (occupant) If poverty builds character And spoils breed arrogance I'd rather consort with the low and the decadent And every battle has been fought And everything I think was thought Down and down we've descended Every day keeps getting shorter As my sleeves start getting longer And the sidewalks overflow Patronize pedestrians With no sense of direction I am lost and can't ask a question You'd better have the strength Of the wandering aimless With an audience Of the most prestigious Do you have to strain To love the one you came with? I hope you have the strength Because we're in the belly of war And every battle has been fought Everything I think was thought Down and down we've descended Every day keeps getting shorter As my sleeves start getting longer And the sidewalks overflow (This battle has been fought) Patronize pedestrians With no sense of direction I am lost and can't ask a question Yeah
