Chastity Brown - Welcome To The Border lyrics

Crawling, walking, running Pressing up against your lovely lines We are underwater breathing We are walking through your fire Pressure building, running Pressing up against your lovely home We are so close…we are so close You call this a wall? These people have crossed history And empires we don' watched ‘em fall And all in all we've gotten stronger We are the soil underneath every city you've conquered We are the monsters abused by the conquerors The conscripts in your army fraggin' officers We are the flood waters from the origin And ain't no brick in existence thick enough to hold us in We are pa**ing you by You want to stop progress with an imaginary line? Well a shanty is a fine home for a leader You can even see it in the children's faces This, is displacement, mixed with desperation A Molotov co*ktail of impatience We want you to taste it, unlit is just as well Feel the rumble in your stomachs when you get to hell C'mon Crawling, walking, running Pressing up against your lovely lines We are underwater breathing We are walking through your fire Pressure building, running Pressing up against your lovely home We are so close…we are so close You call this a headshot? I can still smell you, and I can still tell you have no heart Your blood just sloshes from left to right when you walk and My fingertips are sharp And I don't need catharsis, I don't need closure I just need to be a little closer For the screamin' of the ghosts of everyone who never had sh** To erupt from my lips: it's over And we will not discuss this like gentlemen This is genocide, we are desensitized We are the set aside setting our sights on the enterprise We were never meant to find This is America: one big happy prison But we wrote our names on the walls You thought it was graffiti, but it was a sign To everyone looking, from those already inside We are… Over the top and under the radar We are squeezing through your keyholes We are leaking through the cracks in your foundation We the people are…
