I walk on tattered feet / pretending to get old / we are a column / in a sea of rows / timelessness is easier / than searching for a road / all this is nothingness / breathed out long ago
Can we grow slowly / breathing in every breath
Leave that to other beasts / like meat outside their homes / can you admire the things you can’t behold / restlessness is squeezing me / I demand to be let go / if I could just forget / everything I know
I know you know it but you said it didn’t matter / how can you just forget everything that’s happened / give up your guns and gold if freedom’s what your after / I know you know it but you said said said it didn’t matter
I came with planted trees / soldiers in a row / I’ve had attitude towards f*cked up youth before / all your faith is meaningless when action is disowned / we are an old dispute dividing up your bones
Can we grow slowly / breathing in every breath
I know you know it but you said it didn’t matter / how can you just forget everything that’s happened / give up your guns and gold if freedom’s what your after / I know you know it but you said said said it didn’t matter
