Pennies

Had a piggy bank
Like a lion’s head
Knocked it off the shelf
Broke down by the bed
Pennies from a skyscraper can kill
I’ve lined up my change
On the window sill
Watched for hours
People down below
The wind has frozen my eyes
Lost the courage
Could not push them off
Pulled my head inside
Let a winter pass
Laying in bed
My coins have all frozen to the window sill
Walked the shadowed streets
In a happy fear
Looking up for change
Shining through the air
Listen up to your hostage
Your brain can’t hold her up
All the people you crossed out
You wake yourself back up
Watched for hours
Buildings fall through clouds
Walked the shadowed streets
In a happy fear
Looking up for change
Shining through the air
Listen up to your conscience
The sky can’t hold it up
All the people you crossed out
Have woke themselves back up
Pennies from a skyscraper can kill
