Your mother’s milk Your father’s anger The razor wire surrounding him And far below Their droning engines You lay in bed Blowing out stars
The masters of Your lonely kingdom Pulled you along With red-rimmed eyes Through endless hours Of drill and harness Until you fell, surrendering
But still they never laid the gun down, only child They sit like lions in a sunbeam, only child And never came down
Remember all The roads descending To who you were, for blurred-out miles? You smolder now— Coals and embers Under the frost of indolence I see you never lay the gun down, only child You live your life behind a window, only child And, dreaming, barrel down a bloodline, only child
Rise in the air over the mountains Run like the days that cut them down I see you now As you relive them Break like a wave, dissembling, But when you’re lying down among them, only child There is no sound to fill the silence, only child. Forgive them When you lay the gun down, only child, it’s not surrendering— It feels like running back through time Only you know howTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
