Ginger Wildheart - Barbed Wire & Roses

While the city is asleep there are the tiniest weeds breaking through
And while we're learning to walk they go unnoticed right under our feet
Empty and dry, the husks of our society ride the bus
Or the heavy traffic to work
Heads pointed forwards, like there's something to see
And in time we're at the mercy of the mightiest vine

Rusty wire or garden rose
The rain makes time for colouring both
So God only knows
If rusty wire or garden rose
Is the vicious vine that clings to your clothes
But it's got you now, and it won't let you go.

The firmly employed are waging a war to avoid engaging
Their faces locked to a screen of information
Supplied by the team that design
The disconnection of distractible minds
(chorus)
A fellow could lose his faith
Given the human race's penchant
To court people and places that are flashing neon mistakes
So cast away your sins, believe in anything
If it parts those brambles and bids you freedom from being tangled again.
And just so you know, that when you hit the concrete
That you're not alone
Tethered here by spurs unknown
(chorus)
