about

Suite in D, Part 2

lyrics

The times they find you standing on a sweaty, stupid hill
staring at a crater that was a town until you killed it
you joined to fight the evil they said was rising from the ground
somewhere past the sunrise, somewhere they can't shout you down
and there's dead horses on your radar and pink mist in your hair
and they're burning tires, they burn it all, as though they just don't care
that somewhere past the sunset, there are babies trying to breathe
babies trying to find momma's arms, babies that still believe
in a world beyond shit blood and rifles, IEDs and clouds of dust
that all we have to do is love each other, all we have to do is trust

it all feels
imaginary

the times they find you sitting on a broken, crusty stool
staring at the glass that's full of beer that stares at you
came home 20 years ago, watched your babies grow and grow
into bigger babies who know all there is to know
and somewhere past the sunrise, out past the golden rule,
there's a crater that's gone missing under condos and a pool
and the rich folks and their money do their lonely, dead-eyed dance
on the bones of all the children you extinguished in a trance
and if those bones could sing, they would sing to us above:
why can't we simply trust each other, why can't we learn to love

it all feels
so secondary
