[Intro]
Morning breaks like broken glass
Through the haze of yesterday
Coffee's burning black as ash
While sirens fade away
[Verse 1]
Walking daddy's postal route
Past the bodegas we all knew
Watching smoke signals spell out
What we already knew was true
Metal taste upon my tongue
From running through these streets
While car alarms screech their song
And my heart skips every beat
[Chorus]
In the fever of this Latin night
Everything's spinning out of control
Saxophones crying, ain't nothing right
When paradise starts to fold
¡Dios mío! What have we seen?
These streets don't feel like home
In between the real and the dream
Where even prayers sound like moans
[Verse 2]
Empty cups on dashboards shake
As brass notes pierce the sky
Portuguese whispers break
When normalcy says goodbye
Trash can symphony plays
While memories burn and fade
Through this goddamn haze
Of a morning gone astray
[Bridge]
Streets I used to know
Now feel so damn strange
Like a twisted tango show
Where everything's deranged
Dad's mailbag hits the ground
As time stands f*cking still
No familiar faces around
Just silence on the hill
[Outro]
Morning breaks like broken glass
Through the haze of yesterday
Coffee's burning black as ash
While sirens fade away
While sirens fade away...
