Blood On The Concrete Lyrics - The Glass Child

Four children in a playground 

laughing loud and playing free 

A mother watching wondering 

what they will grow up to be 

Patrick wants to be a doctor like the man in white who saved 

his mother from that thing in her breast 

and theres Dave who tries be a fighter, to make his father proud one day 

And Tom gets kicked in school because his friends says he is gay 

And then theres Sarah, a little quiet, who only wants one thing, 

to get to know her dad, who left when she was young 

he even took her mothers wedding ring 

On their way home feeling free 

Sarah is laughing, running faster than the wind 

She aint looking as she crosses the street 

I still hear her mother screaming, looking for a heartbeat 

iI went to fast, a seconds crash 

and Sarahs dead on the concrete 

The same morning theres a man 

finding a letter from his wife, she said 

Im sorry but I cant 

find a way to live this life 

He found her in the tightrope 

In the bathroom hanging dead 

He screamed but couldnt make a sound 

fallen on his knees, he said 

How am I supposed to go on now? 

He took that bottle and then another 

Got in the car and drove 

Disappearing in the night 

I still hear that car when Sarahs crossing the street 

And I still hear her mother screaming 

looking for a heartbeat 

It went so fast 

A seconds crash 

And Sarahs dead on the concrete 

Empty bottles and broken dreams 

life never goes as you plan it to be 

Empty bottles and broken dreams 

life never goes as you plan it to be 

Empty bottles and broken dreams 

I pass that spot every day on the street 

A life-story written in the blood on the concrete
