Duzer Street from Interweave by Moonbyrds

Icicles thaw on tangled up vines
We were staring at the shop for the hundredth time
Streets stained white with salt and ice
Snow banks piled higher since last night

Warm oak glistens through window panes
Behind big black doors calling out my name
Every failure sinks deeper into the ground
Feeding seeds for the daisies and summer sounds

Is it kismet on the empty walls?
Is it destiny again who calls?
Could it be the tiles we laid only helped to pave the way
For someone else to take our place?

Fat black marker on a paper white sign
"Cafe coming soon" if the stars will align
Lightless lanterns hang waiting dead in the dark
For a spark to find its way into my heart

We could chase these dreams if we wanted to
We could slay our fears if we wanted to
Our fate won't wait until tomorrow
And the future cannot be borrowed

Is it kismet on the empty walls?
Is it destiny again who calls?
Could it be the tiles we laid only helped to pave the way
For someone else to take our place?

The stewards of van duzer street smoke cigarettes
While the old man on the corner howls out with tourettes
Every passing step of the locals tread
Upon promises broken, and the ones that were kept
Strays wail hungry in the alleyway
Alongside the checkered tiles and the marble we placed
The old key you gave me doesn't fit anymore
If this place isn't ours then who is it for?

Is it kismet on the empty walls?
Is it destiny again who calls?
Could it be the tiles we laid only helped to pave the way
For someone else to take our place?

Was it ever ours anyway?
Was it ever ours anyway?
Was it ever ours anyway?
