Refugee Camp

Meal bells
 Soundin' off in the bitter cold her
 Heart swells
 How long it's been it's
 Hard to tell
 In this city of tents
 Estranged
 Many more arrivin'
 Each day
 When you wake up there're more
 Mouths to feed
 City of regrets
 And the moment my heart breaks
 At the height of our mistakes
 The form that it now takes
 Is a little girl
 Asking her father
 "When
 Are we
 Going home?"
 But never lies he tells to her
 The truth and fear that swells in her
 Kills me
 He says
 "This tent's our house for now
 We'll leave as soon as we know how
 You'll see
 Even if it's not easy
 You gotta believe me
 That meal bell
 Should be finding comfort in the food's smell
 But it straight up drags me back to hell
 This city of regrets
 And the moment my heart breaks
 At the height of our mistakes
 This form that it now takes
 Is a little girl
 Asking politely
 "When
 Are we
 Going home?"
 But never lies he tells to her
 The truth and fear that swells in her
 Kills me
 He says
 "This tent's our house for now
 We'll leave as soon as we know how
 You'll see
 Even if it's not easy
 You gotta believe me
 Standin here at the end of the world and his
 Tone is so reassured and I though should not
 I believe him
 One more day with no glimmer of hope in this
 Mess full of spirits so broken, I should not
 But I believe him
 Foolishly
 I believed him
