(untitled)

I froze the first time I watched a casket close
Then I chose I'd fill the next one I watched go in the ground
I suppose the mathematics could be a bit unsound
Lord knows they're picking more off just as fast as I can lay them down
The poverty level's so high
The breath I waste on these lines could forge a tide
Which could swallow men alive

Here we stand
Girl, boy, woman, man, hand in hand
Before this plot of land
We're walking fields of mines
And everyone around me's dying

So come, all in one
Watch me suffer for what I've done
Come, all in one
Watch me suffer

As she lied there inside the caskets clutch
Her freckles weren't freckles
They more resembled rust
Now I understand why I never saw a tear slide
From her gun metal gray eyes

Perhaps this thing is more machine than human being
Maybe her heart pumped oil instead of blood
Maybe she couldn't feel a thing
Neither lust nor love
She couldn't keep her chin up so she'd hack her skin up
At night she'd toss and turn
All fidgety and finicky like the skin she was in - burned
Her father had to teach her what a mother only should
And it took her much further than any degree could
But it was just no good

Me, I'll be on the coast
All alone while the oceans moan
Skipping stones with her ghost

Come, all in one
Watch me suffer for what I've done
Come, all in one
Watch me suffer
