Old man rests his head on a brick
stares at the sky and sighs
When will they go away?
When will he want to rise and face the day?
Same shirt, holes in his soles, worn down for miles
Many roads, many just trying to survive
Brace for impact, walls are closing in
Heart beats louder, aren't you listening?
Please don't move, please don't move,
please don't move me now
Brace for impact, walls are closing in
Heart beats louder, aren't you listening?
Please don't move, please don't move,
please don't move me now
Coffee black as tar, walk out the building
wind chill feels like zero, he ain't got no feeling
but some tunes from his favorite songs
runs through his head as he shuffles along
Brace for impact, walls are closing in
Heart beats louder, aren't you listening?
Please don't move, please don't move,
please don't move me now
Brace for impact, walls are closing in
Heart beats louder, aren't you listening?
Please don't move, please don't move,
please don't move me now
He falls to the ground
There's no one to be found
Just the part of someone else's story, not the focus
Old man rests back down on his brick
stares at the sky and dies
No one mourns or cries or sends flowers to his wake
Just another person that walked the interstate
Brace for impact, walls are closing in
Heart beats louder, aren't you listening?
Please don't move, please don't move,
please don't move me now
Brace for impact, walls are closing in
Heart beats louder, aren't you listening?
Please don't move, please don't move,
please don't move me now
