Forgotten Kids
The daylight is sinking, his energy's slinking
Slowly down the hillside
The size of the great divide
He's reaching for guidance, a government silence
Like a roll of the eyes
Out of sight and out of the mind
The packed food banks and hostel rooms
A few hundred metres from a young tycoon
So lay down your flowers for the bloom
And the chorus of birds that
Follow me when I don't stand so tall
While these forgotten kids sleep on the floor
He's turfed off of shop fronts
It feels like a manhunt
The spikes on the pavement in the gentrified side of town
Says I'm just looking for traces of familiar faces
'cause it feels like I'm fading
To a fixture in the background
You're disappearing out of view
Through the gaps of wealth and greed and misfortune
So lay down your flowers for the bloom
Follow me when I don't stand so tall
While these forgotten kids sleep on the floor
We all just wanna make the most of these people we adore
Before it's all just in our heads
Follow me when I don't stand so tall
While these forgotten kids sleep on the floor
We all just wanna make the most of these people we adore
Before it's all just in our heads, before it's all just in our heads
Slowly down the hillside
The size of the great divide
He's reaching for guidance, a government silence
Like a roll of the eyes
Out of sight and out of the mind
The packed food banks and hostel rooms
A few hundred metres from a young tycoon
So lay down your flowers for the bloom
And the chorus of birds that
Follow me when I don't stand so tall
While these forgotten kids sleep on the floor
He's turfed off of shop fronts
It feels like a manhunt
The spikes on the pavement in the gentrified side of town
Says I'm just looking for traces of familiar faces
'cause it feels like I'm fading
To a fixture in the background
You're disappearing out of view
Through the gaps of wealth and greed and misfortune
So lay down your flowers for the bloom
Follow me when I don't stand so tall
While these forgotten kids sleep on the floor
We all just wanna make the most of these people we adore
Before it's all just in our heads
Follow me when I don't stand so tall
While these forgotten kids sleep on the floor
We all just wanna make the most of these people we adore
Before it's all just in our heads, before it's all just in our heads
