1. SOME OF US

You and I
We are not the same
There is no coinciding thread
We cut from rival names
You hold the veil around your head
I have nothing left to fear
Save my self arrival
I’m still dead enough to hear what the blood says

Some of us will run
And some of us crawl
And some won’t learn to live at all
Some of us will rise
And some of us fall
And some won’t learn to live at all

I won’t forget your lies
I won’t regret this path I take
I’ve seen these shadows rise
Upon the crest of every wake
I know my definition
Won’t lie inside diluted means
I pray a luddite swarm
To level these machines

I felt the ground beneath me shake
Saw my fate unfolding
Grind my gears until they break
Don’t have to spell it for me

Not everyone will die
