Meal bells
Soundin' off in the bitter cold her
Heart swells
How long it's been it's
Hard to tell
In this city of tents
Estranged
Many more arrivin'
Each day
When you wake up there're more
Mouths to feed
City of regrets
And the moment my heart breaks
At the height of our mistakes
The form that it now takes
Is a little girl
Asking her father
"When
Are we
Going home?"
But never lies he tells to her
The truth and fear that swells in her
Kills me
He says
"This tent's our house for now
We'll leave as soon as we know how
You'll see
Even if it's not easy
You gotta believe me
That meal bell
Should be finding comfort in the food's smell
But it straight up drags me back to hell
This city of regrets
And the moment my heart breaks
At the height of our mistakes
This form that it now takes
Is a little girl
Asking politely
"When
Are we
Going home?"
But never lies he tells to her
The truth and fear that swells in her
Kills me
He says
"This tent's our house for now
We'll leave as soon as we know how
You'll see
Even if it's not easy
You gotta believe me
Standin here at the end of the world and his
Tone is so reassured and I though should not
I believe him
One more day with no glimmer of hope in this
Mess full of spirits so broken, I should not
But I believe him
Foolishly
I believed him
