Pity Prize

The sky is vanishing
Like the embers of a bonfire
Stumble back to
Each other’s arms
Safe from urban harm

Fate threw us a pity prize
In amongst the hundreds of hopefuls
Find a way to survive

See how far we’ve come
See how the odds are never against us
Just promise to leave the lights on
Swear I’m not superstitious

Fate threw us a pity prize
In the calm of
The smoke stained night
