The Greymare parts 1 & 2

There's a necessary sadness and a necessary pain

A nervous isolation and a misery today

We suffer all the symptoms that they might choose to claim

Their meddling involvement; their medical disdain

I’ll try to save the sound of it, the words bespake unspoken

Where every word’s a poem, and every poem’s golden

But if you think its wrong or if you think its over

Its just a law of gravity and laws they must be broken

I hate them and I hate us and I hate me and we hate them

So try to keep it conflict but it always sounds the same

We talk our trash we cut us down we even say our names

We beat us, the cops and break their windowpanes

I want to bring destruction to this thing we call our life

This engineered facsimile of what we’ve been deprived

But someones always failed at what I try to try

And everytime I make a plan I want to stay inside

Past is in the afterlife the present’s overrun

We’re not waiting for tomorrow that's just never gonna come

Whether waiting for the hangings or waiting to be hanged

We’ll just hang around courtyard kicking dust against the rain

I want to say I’ve had it, and fuck what might have been

I want to say the battle’s done and we just couldn't win

That we could not prevail verse the world we’ve been given

I didn't just not ask for this, I wasn't asked permission

The grey will stay until the day we find a way to send it all away

The way to win this war is battle asymmetrical

This fight will take the lives the hearts and minds of many many brave people
