lyrics

down in the shade by the river
struck backs glistening orange
watch the strings float them into
concrete trees and barbed wire

i can feel it in my shoulders falling
found a dead body by the train tracks
the twist of a pistol towards my chest
gleaming christ, forced to a cross

before i heard anything
see the signs turn to plastic cash
before i was told what it was
the walls falling into cracked tarmac place

but the shotgun looms from the window
how do i listen and fight
you jab for the ears in cinder blocks
none of this will last, none of this will last

the smile before the storm
thunder a step on melting tarmac
quake on the waves, but i keep going
you can’t even solve a murder

lurking militant in purple shadow
you’ll never catch me, death is gunfight
hidden in cooled dark hills
the closest i’ll get to peace
