lyrics

They crossed the border, broke, in hopes for better life
But hope is just an empty vessel, smoke against the light
No one read em rights
Alone in bed at night
The broken pledge of life
A chance that no one gets to fight

Christ...
I guess it’s like this in the developed world
A stone that left unturned
Ignore it like no one said a word

Prayer..
It hasn’t yet occured
To anyone, that every moment wasted
Is another second left to burn

Get to runnin,
These men are coming
Better get your youngins
There’s plenty of em

They gonna get ya men and send em back to where they came
Only just the parents, fair and take a fare, like a ferry lake

Everything is square and straight,
Everything is terribly painful
When we tear apart a family at it’s ankles

Just for crossing over
Left a broken casa,
Now unlawful soldiers
Hold em hostage,
Politics control their mamas

Your honor..
How’d we venture so astray
Like novocaine, we’re numb
Dumb like when we hope and pray

Ya’ll say no to change
Ya’ll afraid of cultures
But appropriate em stolen vultures
A gross display encroaches

A poster made of roses
This whole charade is gross
Every open case is closing cold
The open road is not an option

Ya’ll indoctrinate children,
Now the monster made a villian
