Don't ever ask us to define our morals
|
Sometimes when fundamentals meet teenage heartbreak
|
Some of us are all of us; half-selves that love whole hopes
|
And hara-kiri heartbreak
|
|
There's almost nothing worse than never being real
|
Strained voices crying wolf when nobody can hear
|
If I had a gun I'd pump your ethics full of lead
|
If I believed in meat I'd eat a plateful of our dead
|
|
There's merit in construction when it's done with your own hands
|
There's beauty in destruction, resurrection, another chance
|
There's a you and I in union but just an I in our beliefs
|
There's a crashing plane with a banner that reads everyone's na?e
|
|
The only proof that I have that we shot and killed this horse
|
Is the sounds of whips on flesh and a bleeding heart remorse
|
When I'm In this state of reflection and you hand me whips
|
And two by fours I could never bring them down and beat the same horse as before
|
|
I'd rather kill a stupid flower and spread its seeds around
|
Until a garden with our bullet-laden morals will be found
|
