Oleander - Fountain & Vine Lyrics
Open your shelters and let us all inTired and homeless and hungry againOutside my window at fountain & vineDrunks and addicts are forming a lineSharing their stories to comfort despairCarry the weight of the crosses they barePraying for courage and wisdom to changeSerenity cost more that pocket book changeI want to tear down the wallsAnd shatter the image that fallsI want to turn all the tablesAnd give back what doesnt belong to meSleeping on sidewalks is how people liveBegging for something noone wants to giveSize of your wealth is a bottle of wineSipped with your friends youll soon leave behindAre your children in flames?Incarcerated and bound by the chain?Strangers paralyzeDown in the gutters of fountain & vineFeel like running awayTired of seeing them falling asideTheres no running awayI want to tear it all downBuild it all up from the groundI want to tear down the wallAnd shatter, the image, that falls on meThe view from down hereBrings mention to mindEverythings sacred on fountain & vine
