Under Streetlights - Hogni

People staring at their feet

When I pass them on the street

Being ignored is so much worse

Than being hated

So I had to move away

Took the early morning train

But I never really felt

That I made it

You don’t know how it hurts

When there’s no hope and you’re cursed

To be living alone with birds

A fallen angel that god deserts

My whole life it went downhill

Never again I’ll feel a thrill

Don’t believe there ever was

A free will

Feeding pigeons at the park

In a city that is strange to me

I will be here after dark

Under streetlights

You don’t know how it hurts

When there’s no hope and you’re cursed

To be living alone with birds

A fallen angel that god deserts
