the cities piled up more like mountains of salt
a little bit of rain could make the whole damn thing fall
but hand in hand we all walked toward the sun
pretending warmth was as good as a gun
all masked up like it’s halloween again
can a shadow still be construed as a man
our bodies cried out in the endless expanse
if we’re going to go die we might as well dance
mothers, fathers
daughters, sons
long lost acquaintances
together as one
flailing, thrashing
raving, mad
thrust into darkness
but the skin on our back
they said that we could carry it all
who here knows to climb a wall
who here knows to climb a wall
i know that we can't carry it all
but we try
sojourning on
under the ecstasy of god
who did each of us betray
so we could waste another day
fumbling on
beneath the flag of fallen friends
it’s here we lay our heads
we once were born, and now we’re dead
