Tell me why I can't sleep
Count the sheep as they're led to the slaughter
I feel the room fill with laughter
I wander into the ever after
Yes, I know
I do, I do
The ocean's mouth only consumes
And when we try to teach, we preach
About things we know, about the things we need
Held so much that we forgot to let go
Got lost hitchhiking on a winding road
Blood stained soil sticks to our shoes
As we make our way through each afternoon
They tie our hands, attempt to delete us
We cannot eat, because they beat us
They give us little, they give us none
They break our legs so we can't run
While chained to walls, we learn to swim
Our blood, our tears, our crippled cracked shins
They'll claim what's mine and take it too
Abuse what I had, ensue, confuse
Rape the women, murder the men
Survival, maybe, so be it then
The men who've come, they won't be still
The men who've come have come to kill
