lyrics
it all woke up spurned
sky bruised, accused
i see cranes from windows
heads forced, crooked
feet threaded to the floor
we are on crutches
horizon slumped drunk
out to sea, coal burnt halo
(chorus)
i could live in hope
but the gun’s at my back
i could live in hope
but the gun’s at my back
kids chew black n red gum
then throw dice on them
dreams never start
teeth rot away
one step is a lifetime
screwed under lies
what sat under rocks in heads
sliced into paper
(chorus)
boarded up eyes see
everything chipped
barbed wire sent from above
webbed between open faces
model of a skeleton
they never became bored
of boards on windows
the hand that shakes the cradle
(chorus)
a ship chops its way in
what was innocence
beaten with broken glass
and the knock at the door
we are under a thumb
puppets on nooses
pick a side
pick a side
(chorus)
and how will
it end when
all who could
teach you are
dead and you
have sliced the
knife too deep
who was ever
taught to hate
who they had
never seen who
had seen the
faceless hand
smash skulls
blood dripping
to tarmac a
reason in the
head wrench
starts spinning
stopped by the
same hands
later never
blamed for
what happened
after a life
snatched and
ignored but you
can never truly
forget
