Unbroken Covers

So many times ive been left for dead 
Neck deep with the ghosts of regret 
Taking back the color of our lips 
Show me the smiles that crack like whips 

Forever nights can never come to soon 
Because we were born to sing the blues 

I looked past the lights of our homes 
over the rooftops that let us down 
and into the hearts of the sons and daughters 
who gave up the dreams of their mothers and fathers
