She is the sole survivor
Of all the battles we have fought
She is a lonely island
In a sea of concrete souls
This is the hope she could hang on to
If it wasn't torn away
These are the dreams she might have followed
If she weren't so afraid

And as she sits there on the cold steps
That have seen it all before
The tears are running freely now
And from her very core
It boils up slowly from inside
But then becomes so loud
As if a hundred dogs have come
To join her in a howl

To drown it all out
To tear it all down
To scream till everything is ruined
And buried in the ground

And as she and her dogs of tears
Look into each other's eyes
And for the first time what she faces
Is incapable of lying
She is one with the cold steps
That have seen it all before
Her tears have drowned the island
In the sea of concrete souls

She knows that she can rest now
There's nothing to cry for
She'll never be alone again
Cause nothing matters anymore
She traded in her hopes and dreams
So we could have our peace of mind
And now we'll always be content
But we will never be alive
