Unhousing Projects Lyrics

No breathing room for you and yours, when your first steps are marred by poverty and your family can't afford to live in an apartment anymore Languorous living fused with dangerous conditions, eviction sealed fates new section-eight waitlist dates lock your mind in a prison Slow crawl half asleep on the floor while they force you out the door Sleeping on a park bench, you rise to the sound of light taps on skin Here comes the rain to wake you up again No need to get dressed when your clothes are your bed Walk around your city till the weather has lifted Tried to make the shelters deadline but you missed it What you want is what you need, basic needs and some room to breathe The less you live the more you seethe, the less you're free, the more you grieve What you want is what you need, a life worth more than fake smiles and misery there is only violence here (there is only violence here) Swallow the nerve damage and pray to a god you've never believed in (no one should have to live this low) No No-one should have to live this low stare down another sundown with cashed out pockets an empty stomach and no bed to sleep in (there is only violence here) What you want is what you need, basic needs and some room to breathe The less you live, the more you seethe, the less you're free, the more you grieve What you want is what you need, a life worth more than fake smiles and misery there's only violence here (there is only violence here) No-one should gave to live this low There is only violence here No-one should gave to live this low There is only violence here The means to die unnoticed, is a means to an end Mass-produced through violence, selfish and calculated The means to die unnoticed without having lived No one should have to live this low There is only violence here What you want is what you need, basic needs and some room to breathe The less you live, the more you seethe, the less you're free, the more you grieve What you want is what you need, a life worth more than fake smiles and misery there is only violence here (there is only violence here) No-one should have to live this low There is only violence here No-one should have to live this low There is only violence here
