I gotta tweak these lyrics eventually, but I've fallen behind and I've gotta catch back up over the next few days!
Stitched between the truck stop brawls
And dying shopping malls,
Right where we've always been,
Like pigs in cages
Gnawing out our rage
Into our own sick skin.
Will I be another one?
Will I be another one
Bound and taken in?
Pretty poppies find their ways
Into my veins
All the way from Afghanistan.
Try to picture mountains
Pock-marked through the decades,
Scarred across her span.
Think I see another one,
There's always another one
Sacrificed to the plan.
We'll all find another one,
It could be anyone,
Hear it calling? The call of the hitman.
I've never known anyone
To dig their way out of a hole
I've just seen them
Buried in the coal
Black dust, that fills our lungs but lets us see the
Cold black sky.
The nothingness between the shining lights,
I'll try to climb real high
I'll try to breathe where the air is thin
We can stay and wilt
Or we can bloom in glory,
Last maybe another hour,
And it might wind up
We're left with a real short story,
But at least we'll know it's ours.
I won't be another one
Not another one
Who never got to flower.
So meet me way up there
Before infinity
Burn out for a thrust
And feel that sunlight
Blaze across your body
Know that we're all stardust.
And they'll see another one
Then another one
Fall down and combust.
We'll be another one,
Oh yeah another one,
See us falling, fall into the crust.
