it's all you say
"we got it"
and here we are —
i have dark waters
coursing through my veins
and so do we all

kill us
choke us
starve us
as you lie
filled up and bare-eyed
kill us
blind us
strip us
as you lie
to your heirs of your Dream

Rayshard sleeps
parked in his car
in a drunken drowse
he needs a hand home
not hands on him
and another draws last breath

kill us
choke us
starve us
as you lie
filled up and bare-eyed
kill us
blind us
strip us
as you lie
to your heirs of your blood

kill us
kill us
we'll keep
walking
we'll keep
we'll keep
breathing
breathing
we live
we live
