Muffled By Concrete Lyrics

Artist: The Honor System
Album: Single File

One night I think you said to me that weâ‚¬â„¢re broken
Well Iâ‚¬â„¢m still breaking
But I realize my skinâ‚¬â„¢s not bulletproof either
Mazes in the cornfields died
And on their grave a new hotel lies
Only crumbling dirt and crumbling lives survive
That tune youâ‚¬â„¢re humming never sounded so bleak to me

Father, have you done right?
â‚¬Å“I broke my back, son, sold my timeâ‚¬?
Fingers shredded even more than your spirit
Theyâ‚¬â„¢ll break you in and work you down
until you pledge allegiance
To a system that brings you up just to knock you down
â‚¬Å“Iâ‚¬â„¢d like to see you turn this world upside downâ‚¬?

Screaming voice of reason
Muffled by concrete
Beauty covered with parking lots
Seems these yellow lines are all weâ‚¬â„¢ve got

Born as free men
Tied hands
Eyes left bleeding
Goddamn
The oneâ‚¬â„¢s whoâ‚¬â„¢ve seen it
Blinded
Hereâ‚¬â„¢s to those oneâ‚¬â„¢s who die trying
