Under The Broken Concrete

[Verse 1]
Dust on my tongue
Name on my lips
Your shoe in my hand
Tag half-ripped

Sirens far off
Sky still grey
Phone in my pocket
No bars anyway

[Pre-Chorus]
I dig with my fingers
Skin split
Slow bleed
Shouting each name
Like they might answer me

[Chorus]
Where are you
Under the broken concrete
I swear I heard you breathe
I swear I heard you call me
Where are you
Every stone I move
I’m shaking
If I find your hand
I’m staying
If I lose your face
I’m breaking

[Verse 2]
Your drawing in ash
On a fallen wall
Crooked blue house
Stick figures tall

[whispered vocals] “Baba
Come home”
Ringing in my skull
Someone’s blanket by my feet
Your favorite color
Dull

[Pre-Chorus]
Neighbors turn to shadows
Faces streaked in gray
We trade short prayers
Don’t know what to say

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I count
One
Two
Three
Four
Voices I can’t hear anymore

I press my ear
To the breathing earth
Promise this ground
You were worth
You were worth

[Chorus]
