Look at all the dead streets
closed up shops downtown's lonely
wind blows through broken windows
of the factory that used to be the town's heart
blood used to pump like traffic
through my veins when you would call
but you left me with an empty heart
went away and took it all
I'm walking through empty streets
shadows and ghosts to keep me company
a sign on my chest that says "closed and moved away"
it's a dead city heartache
all these things i built for you
collecting dust not being used
slowly worn down as the wind blows by
faded words carved in stone you can't recognize
used to be a factory
blood pumped through and filled the city
now it's a home to all of the ghosts
in my mind i call my memories
I'm walking through empty streets
shadows and ghosts to keep me company
a sign on my chest that says "closed and moved away"
it's a dead city heartache
read the message of love i carved
into the stone of the city heart
soon to be the only remains
of a beautiful town now in decay
what once was seen from other towns
now covered in finds, hardly found
it says "through your love I'm given life"
as the elements slowly wear it down
I'm walking through empty streets
shadows and ghosts to keep me company
a sign on my chest that says "closed and moved away"
I know what it means to be a ghost
walking at night through empty roads
don't want to go, but don't want to stay
it's a dead city heartache
