Verses:
Broken glass on the avenue
Do you hear it now? Is it comin’ through?
Broken signs and broken times
You hear what you choose, that don’t make it true
It’s hard to be heard, with a knee on your neck
Your face in the ground and a crowd who can’t do what you need it to
Throw every flame, cause walkin’ that Southern bridge
Already did what it’s gonna do
A line of shields on a line of blue
Step outta line and they’re gonna step down on you
Was it ‘65? Or ‘92?
Or every other year runnin’ red, white, and blue?
Well if you run like you know you should
You’re just another candle in a vase in a sighing neighborhood
Free to be free, if you stay in your lane
Where somebody’s always gonna try to take the voice right out of you
Chorus:
When the night falls on the city
Oh one day these walls are gonna come down
At the end of the day, born and raised
This American dream is gonna push it all to change
When the night falls on the city
The voices rain, yeah we’re gonna stand strong behind you
To the end of days, torn and frayed
No matter the pain
We’re gonna stand strong behind you
Verses:
Broken glass on the avenue
You can hear it now and it’s coming through
You can see the signs, you can see it true
Somebody wants this world to do right by you
It’s time to be heard for the dead without words
I wish I could run back time and make it right with you
But a mother’s fear, can we make it rest?
It never should’ve been
But we made it bloom
Chorus:
When the night falls on the city
You can feel it tonight
These walls are gonna come down
At the end of the day, born and raised
The American Dream is gonna push itself out of the way
When the night falls on the city
Voices rain, can you feel it rain down on you?
To the end of days, born to fade
When the statues fall we’re gonna stand strong behind you
Yeah the night falls on the city
Voices rain, can you feel it rain down on you?
