building cage i can only study the blame
|
i can think of a word for myself but no name
|
question darts throw me to the dogs of progress
|
but they run from what really matters
|
|
raised on promises
|
|
to the furnace for shade to the dust for a drink
|
logic's mad and shame doesn't care what you think
|
the ocean's dry it's only a phantom that you fathom
|
but the flood comes from the desert
|
|
raised on promises
|
|
land of the known
|
free of the brave
|
they sell us ourselves
|
the center has moved and water bleeds from broken faces
|
|
raised on promises
|
