lyrics

light
trees
dropping the bombs, gone, and shooting the breeze
we know it's
a
ruse but it's giving us something to do

as we lead with no direction
collecting our baggage in our open wounds
they'll pray for us always but never reach out
maybe we're not the heroes they say we are

dead
night
they're hanging from branches, dangling down
and yet nothing
changed
we're only in it for eventual pay

big
men
busting our chops for their national campaigns
with our faces
proudly smiling at the unmarked graves of our friends that couldn't make it out
they worship the ones they've forgotten about
I guess we're not worth it
we really are not
if you won't hold up your agenda for us
