lyrics

I don’t believe in an eternal life
External to the one we’re in
I think of death like an asymptotic line
Approaching a point that we can never reach
So you can become suspended
In the infinite void
That fills the space between you
And your temporal death
Now where you become suspended
That can be a sentence
Such that you shall never leave this earth
And your last revelation
May be the one that you inhabit forever
So this is where we’ll leave you

I’ve been trying to get out of here
Political prisoner since 29
Solitarily confined
So I visualize my state
Behind slate doors
My countrymen lie in wait
For me to give the orders
But first we’ll ask forgiveness from the Lord

You know I’m really grateful for all the attention
Honestly
Because I think you may have even helped my cause
As you know, recruiting’s been a challenge
I don’t get good signal in the yard

I remember when you used to call me an (ANIMAL)
That’s why you locked me in this cage
Flashed your bible at the circus
Guess I’m an elephant with rage

Will you still call me an (ANIMAL)
Demagogue, fan the flames of the mob from the pulpit and bail
First we’re comin’ for your family
We’re not sparin’ them with jail

You’re gonna look up to the sky
As the crowd is closing in
We’ll watch you take your last breath
Crying, “Get ‘em off! Get ‘em off! Get ‘em off! Get ‘em off!"
