Deadringer |
| We both have walked as ghosts and we’ve done it for years |
| We saw everything, there’s nothing to feel |
| Right through meat markets, gold pans, and the steel |
| They’re using my hands, this is the work of man |
| Stand on the broken glass, spread out the fuel we need |
| And burn the machine that could have brought us back |
| You failed |
| You held a rose and clung with frozen hands |
| You failed |
| Can’t fill the grave when the ghost needs to work |
| Push through the river, the cold is biting my heels |
| I see everything; |
| I just can’t feel |
| I’m my nation’s wars, the body count’s me The beasts at the roots stalking my family tree |
| I watch my people in silence as they roll right past |
| The heavy footed steps destroy our sacred mass |
| I failed |
| I lost your bones |
| Can’t dig them up with my hands |
| I failed |
| Can’t fill the grave when the ghost needs to work |
| But I’ve come this for freedom |
| And I won’t turn back |
| I’ve come so far |
| But I’ve come this for freedom |
| And there’s nothing left |
| (But I too am America, and these riots within me) |
| Just can’t keep going on like this |
| We failed |
| We let you starve and wouldn’t stir these idle hands |
| We failed |
| But I just can’t see you |
| I can’t see you as anything but the ghost |
| (We failed) |
| It’s just crooked world, man |
| (We failed) |
| It’s been tearing us apart |
| Let’s die right now |
| Die right now |
| And be content with what we’ve done |
