5AM

It’s a 5AM wake up call, you're screaming

And all I could do is look through a gap in the window

Scared, shut in, see no one's helping

No bystanders

Then you disappeared

I’m not sure, I think there was an altercation

It all too often happens down my road

Broken glass bottles and the blood-spat pavements

Cruelty trails

I’m just so sorry about what happened

I can't imagine how you must have felt

Burning

And what about that man that hurt you?

Did he just go home and take off his shoes?

Did he lie quite calmly against his lover?

Did he even once think about the pain he'd caused to another?

Oh, you can try and sleep well

But cruelty trails

You can try and sleep well

But cruelty trails
