lyrics

This is us
(history in the making)
This is where we takes us
(repeats itself)
From underneath these grids & lines
Up through the cross talk

We’re silver & gold
(the currency of new machines)
We’re money on the table now
(sold American)
This is where the new dream takes hold
This is happening
(right now)

Don’t be here when the night comes
Don’t be anywhere at all
The blood is gold here
No heart is innocent
They suck the blood through the bone

Beneath the overpass
(bright light, big city)
We’re tricks of the light
(history repeats itself)
We’re bolted down cut thin with blades
& thrown to anyone
(set, go)

With a fix or a trade
(born currency)
For the blood of les tricoteuses
(repeats itself)
This is art turned inside out
& it’s most unwelcoming
(right now)

Don’t say anything that you know
Don’t say anything at all
The blood is gold here
No heart is innocent
They cut their teeth on the bone

These are the days

Life under the gun
(repeats itself)
This is our confessional
(our refusal)
But it’s only safe to speak out here
Between the syllables

Don’t be here when the night comes
Don’t say anything at all
Where blood is gold
No heart is innocent
Are you ready for war?
