If I could, I would call upon you and tell you that the reasons why you are beautiful As yellow meets black, turns night We gaze in wonder at the city beneath the heath As amber leaves branches, fall ever near We crunch and repeat with our feet to the beat As cracked hands cup coffee in shelter We nod flick leftover shrapnel to them. As wisened minds, ask us for guidance We bravely seek to give the help they crave. I would remind you that this is why life’s worth living. I will conquer the world for you, my dear.

Hold Tight, London
I know what it's like watching the city burn Laugh in tears when you’re simply hurt You do not have the strength to get out of bed It's ok as you can set the world alight instead But darling trust me The world is full of cowards You have survived the worst You just don’t even know it yet Watch the city burn to the ground Ashes to ashes, it all falls down I’ll sit beside you whilst you howl
