lyrics

my legacy softly
scratches the air
who's being compared

its been years since the poet or the prayer
made anyone stand
so we think we can't
just pay the rent.

I was conceived dates
before and after the clause
they wrote in the sand

Throw me in the forge
I will wear all black
but it doesn't take guns
to make us feel strapped

make us feel strapped

Sporadic replacement of the walls
Emphatic, to me, am I involved?
Not at all, just elders in the yard.
The practice of waiting is oblong.
