Prison bars inside our homes Gone way too far this time It's skin on skin for skin tonight And I stand in plain sight I watch it drown Where the fires burn right beside They'll burn it to the ground And we'll never know We'll never know
Paper plates and dinner trays Stacked away, stomach groans To see you see the sight of me Would surely break my bones I wash it down And the fires burned bright outside My house it's not a home And we'll never know We'll never know
Under these spotlights down on the streets I roam I'm looking for prophets born from these broken homes And under this sunshine revealed your brilliant cast If you never burn bright, you never take flight and you're always looking back
Swept away from holidays Had to learn to play pretend A list to list a list of things I wish that I could send I toss it out The "once upon a time" for you Never reached this blighted home You'll never know And you'll never know Oh you'll never know
Under these spotlights down on the streets I roam I'm looking for prophets born from these broken homes And under this sunshine revealed your brilliant cast If you never burn bright, you never take flight and you're always looking back
Momma said goodnight, tried her best to keep you warm The cold outside, it broke her down The fire gone, papa left so long ago And it's been so long, it's been so long Wonder who you have to blame Sitting under this spotlight You find yourself ready for the change
Prison bars inside our home Went way too far that night Was skin on skin for skin, my son And you stood in plain sight
Looking for the spotlights down on the streets I roam I'm looking for prophets born from these broken homes And under this sunshine revealed your brilliant cast If you never burn bright, you never take flight and you're always looking back Always looking back
