Your shape differs from mine pride and mine
I carry a fair amount
Enough to love enough to hate
The kind that keeps me safe
The words that you say to me
Come not from you
But from your a**umptions
Tread over my cities
The ones that I've built from the mud and dust
One day you will be nothing more than a season
But I do see all of you as thieves
Leave me
Leave me be
I do not believe that you or I overlap in any given way
Once I saw a light shine through from the other side of the sea
I could have sworn you all could love like me
You promised you would take your share and leave
We hold our own and turn our backs for you to see
You had intentions; you traveled far towards a path unknown
And you'd be damned if you start to slow
You all invaded and slit the throats of the ones who made you
The ones who'd grow to wear the crowns
You all had children, who all had children
And many more arose
There's so much nothing now
Maybe a small few
But with hungry waves crashing and falling
Who knows what the years will leave us with?
Nothing
