broken nails

won’t you save us
save us
from the light bleeding outwards
outwards
we’ve got nothing to show you
show you
we broke our nails on your shoulders

you could save us
save us
from your world passing our way
our way
we laid everything before you
for you
we broke our backs in your shadows

when time runs out
from the first to last
your old and young
your eyes fall down
the consequence of what you’ve done
