where are our holy ones
no end forever nuns
our false philosophers
have they forgotten us
are they wolves in sheeps clothing
suspiciously glowing
burning so brightly
unknowing almighty
these piles of broken mirrors
they don't make this any clearer
i'm still yelling into nowhere
I lost all my friends somewhere
clinging to a bed sheet
i crawl across this concrete
and darkness it surrounds me
my love you finally found me
shaking here i rest
there's a forest fire at the foot of my bed
and it's burning over all the things we have left
give me new skies
give me rain
until my walls fall down
and i can breathe again

there's black boys rotting in cold jail cells
the days are long and the nights are hell
they were due to stand trial when a judge saw fit
for some small crime that they didn't commit
hey kid, if you're on the run, you're not the only one
if your heart is a loaded gun, keep it pointed, at the sun
why am i standing here crying, why am i standing here crying
on two strong legs, on two strong legs
there's black boys rotting in cold jail cells
and they've been there so long, they kill themselves
they were due to stand trial when a judge saw fit
he'd be just fine if he had my skin
hey kid, if you're on the run, you're not the only one
if your heart is a loaded gun, keep it pointed, at the sun

my wind

we found you in mountains and we found you in rocks
natural keys for our eternal locks
then the storm came, and it took you away
we can't give up yet not til we're out of this mess
if it never ends well then we'll do our best
and if we die
at least we tried
nothing loved is ever lost i wish you well goodnight
nothing true was ever bought i can't give up at any cost
it's all that i am, it's all that i got
my wind, my wind, where have you been?
