When you can see
You see too far
White heat over the city and the sky.
i think I saw it too
when I climbed the hill
sunlight drenched over birds as they sing.
And when they do sing
they sing about death,
and big questions relating to their lives.
I saw all that as you once did,
but now I'm thinking so small.
Yes you did see what it looks like
when the gears all grind to a halt
when there's too many knocks at the door,
when fear drives them to take what's theirs.
All that I fear is I can't see you
past the collapse of all that we knew.
A time of murder draws to a close,
but I don't know if you will survive.
We're so small, with such thin skin.
Sure can't survive an ICBM.
I know you, I know that you wont
protect yourself if it means
you can't help
but please dig deep, dig deeper still
I want to see you,
when it is done
when it is done
when it is done.
