1.New Ruins
It was the worst of this war
All the politics and metaphors
An empty page, the battlefield
Turn it 'cause i fight in secret
Cross it out and i'll just sleep it off
It had never been
So quiet
I could hear the house working
So i thought about some things
Everything that's died
How your tongue will never come untied
The shivers down their spines
And what the city would look like if you set it all on fire
And this is the day when you're in the ambulance again
And this is the pain that is so infantile and ancient
So i wrote it down fell asleep woke up
And looked around
From a dream so alive
I was born inside a body bag
Too scared to shut my eyes, i just thought
The history they severed
How i can't find the right words
Why i should never say never
And what it feels like to remember
And this is the day when, you're in the ambulance again
And this is the pain that is so infantile and ancient.
