lyrics

Mamas in love, with the world. Inner faux.
It's there to be trained, the sly you.
The hardest of hearts fell from trees, so the fever sings,
painted with screams hurt and guillotines, I know nothing.

I can't find blood, in what's done.
God do you hear me when I pray, please stay here,
BecauseI think I just figured it out, what it is to be proud,
I see it now clear as the sun.

Would a brother waste, cull and kill his own kind,
they say love is just like hate, you will find.
It's better than grace, how we fall, these bodies aren't human no more,
barbed wire guards in a place without heart,
are their families proud of them now.

Oh brother won't you breathe slow,
give ourselves back to the earth,
God if you hear me make my heart slow,
so I can rest here in the dirt.
Take away everything that I own,
I'm so tired of being angry,
erase the cause beneath my skin,
we're all dust to dust and ash to ashes,
to cure the devil you let in.
I hope you never saw me shaking,
I tried to pray but all my words fell away,
are you proud of what I've become?
I've seen the friendliest hearts get ripped apart.
(God it gets old to be me)
