a lazarus soul - metal railings lyrics
in the half light of the city, we contemplate our worth
as we make the slow migration from the center to suburb
the dusk, the conversations, softens the shabby face
the silver metal railings, penning these estates
the sound i hear is golden, the stories of their day as they retreat
they’re not poor but they’re not rolling & bring to night a warm humility
in the half light of the city, you cannot see the hurt
in the eyes of working families, who see progress as a curse
as we p-ss along the prison walls, my head bowed at the thought
of the mothers & the fathers who are carrying their cross
the silver sun is failing on young ones who were sent down in their prime
like the silver metal railings, a symbol of our freedom in decline
in the half light of the city, it’s where they would have hid
these ancient streets & corners where my parents played as kids
me ma, she came from summerhill, da, dominick street pack
they moved them out & tore them down, they were forever looking back
i miss their city sayings, the d they’d put between the r & l
& their devotion for praying, that our place found in this wordld was not a cell
