Syringes in the Sand
Father's beating his youngest son
To show him how much love he has
Pregnant mother's buying cigarettes
Baby feels how much she cares
How could these deeply broken hearts
Teach you how to love?
Incoming prayers from beneath
Still killing you up above
Pretend love survived your death
Discord deep inside your chest a broken soul
Skin and bones and you're born again alone
On your own children playing on the streets
Gunshots overland
Only bitter's left in sweet
Syringes in the sand
You're waiting for eternities
For someone to put flowers on your grave
A little love might free what once
Was a heart to be saved
Pretend love survived your death
Discord deep inside your chest a broken soul
Skin and bones and you're born again alone
Children playing on the beach
Old white men polluting seas
A ballgame on the melting pavement
When we have poisoned all the seeds
We will just bite the hand that feeds
Before we hide in displacement
Pretend love survived your death
Discord deep inside your chest a broken soul
Skin and bones and you're born again
Pretend love survived your death
Discord deep inside your chest a broken soul
Skin and bones and you're born again alone
On your own
