Coffin Nails and Concrete

I've been hammering my hope with city sounds
Coffin nails clicking on concrete dreams 
Smoke stacks preach,and I am their parishioner 
Every alley is an altar,every streetlight a saint
I drink from the gutters of gospel graffiti 
Find my reflection in broken bottles 
And bless my sins with spit and asphalt
