lyrics

ELEANOR ABERNATHY

I take your bible belt and tie it around my throat
I make these jokes to get off; you make this whole life a joke
For those built of sympathy, those of thoughts unsold
A gun on your belt and the good word on your mantel

Now that I’ve got your attention
In the most brash of fashion
Wipe your masters from your chin
Look them in the eye and try to reason with them

You see the sky as closed as it is open
And in the space given your creed, your color, your pride

That white picket fence just beyond your window
Is that the spine of God keeping you safe and sound?
Is that suit on your television selling you happiness?
Calls are online, these lines are beyond blurred

Let us pat ourselves on the back right in to the grave
Every day you prayed
All the money you saved
In your homes feeling safe
For turning cheek sake
The picture is far bigger than we know
And just because you don’t look at it
Doesn’t mean it doesn’t look at you
How fortunate, how fortunate

Claiming your innocence
Does nothing to help a victim
We hide behind our truths
Like blind eyes cast in stone
Well equipped to live alone in company
Stay the course or plow the weed
What if I said we need you?
I swear we need each other

But to coexist it seems to be both of us slitting wrist
Or a gaping space to swallow the day and leave no remains
A feast or famine, we ration rationale
How fortunate, how fortunate
