Lyrics

Make ceilings fall to seal this fate
The thief of all that leaves no trace
It only stands to say
That you can’t get there
From nowhere at home

The cityscape still bleeds our song
Displace this place and lead us on
With breakneck pace to fall headlong
Into your graceless paragon

New claim to the crown
New saints to the sin
(They come around to)
Extend the premises
Now you're moving out
Cause they're moving in
(Leave you to drown in)
Expenses to sentences

Welcome, welcome
Please go…

Home is where the blood runs thin
The glass is shattered and the sharks flood in
To claim your famous ghosts
And paint them gold

Defile, hostile architect
And mark it red to market them
Artificial art, official theft
Commission this to civil death

No shelter to grow
No remnant to stand
(Nowhere at home)
In your soul-sick plan
You dare throw the stone
With diamonds in hand
Diamonds in your hands

Home is where the blood runs thin
The glass is shattered and the sharks flood in
To claim your famous ghosts
And paint them gold
And now they're blown out from beneath our feet
The ashes scattered and the memory
To salt these streets with skylight chic
The way that life…
The way our way of life should fleet
