Futurebirds
Keith & Donna
Why did you let?
Why did you let the tank run dry?
At the standoff, at the curtain call

Why did you draw?
Why did you draw the line so long?
Your self-involved, and you know it all

Fists fight flying through pale blue sheetrock walls
Your name’s an anchor
Nearly everytime it’s called

To the castoffs
From your pile we come anew
From your burn the scars accrue
And with those words arising slowly out of you
We will be there to renew

Are you gonna?
Are you gonna let them cauterize?
Your wounds and all. When comes the fall?

How can we tell?
How can we tell there’s something off?
With our recking ball, please proof us wrong
We don’t know what came unglued
We won’t ever let them make a mince out of you

To the castoffs
From your pile we come anew
From your burn the scars accrue
And with those words arising slowly out of you
We will be there to renew
