I'll always be there first to assess the situation.<br />
To gain the advantage.<br />
To push you further beneath me.<br />
<br />
Because you wanted this.<br />
Because you pulled the kicking legs from the insect.<br />
This ain't your mother.<br />
You're gonna find a god.<br />
Because you wanted this.<br />
Because you look to the sky.<br />
You fucking knew better.<br />
This ain't your mother.<br />
You're gonna find a god.<br />
<br />
We'll drink the blood of birds and through all this change we'll wipe our chins and drink some more.<br />
We are race horses.<br />
Some of us are more happy about that than others.<br />
Some of us more eager to win that race.<br />
Cooking the meat kept us, not prayer.<br />
<br />
I called you and you answered me like a fool.<br />
<br />
The sky was gray and you were a small child without bones in your arms.<br />
Now you're a man who died propped up against a fence in the shadow of your favorite bible story.<br />
Still without bones in your arms.<br />
A mourning husband with a pistol in his hand.<br />
He will smile at you with the meat of a leg joint in his teeth.<br />
<br />
We had our day.<br />
Before our hands grayed and died, before the world dried up.<br />
We had our day.<br />
We walked along the road and picked up the bones that were our relatives.<br />
We had our day.<br />
I put my face to the dogs and let them pull the smile from me.<br />
<br />
After your eyes sink and grow further useless, not even vultures will pull the meat from your windowless house.<br />
You have never done anything.<br />
<br />
He is never coming back.<br />
Armies of the half dead with their arms to the sky.<br />
<br />
Burn my body when I'm bloody dead.<br />
I don't want to be found with any of you.<br />
I won't be found with any of you.
