lyrics

Age old potter's wheel
Powder dust human race
Crumble from within, as
The rust forms heavy on my face

I'm decaying matter
Like leaves that once were vibrant green
Now greying and ashen
I'll soon be carried on the breeze
Forgotten for eternity

Stitches in clay
A temporary fix
A plaster on a wound
That will never heal
Standing in the way
Holding up the falling bricks
Is something that
A child should never have to do

A choke hold Friday eve
The cobwebs catching in my throat
The witnesses are young, and
Too afraid for leaving home

Stand up for the bruised
And fight against misogyny
Its hard to learn not to forgive, when
Domesticated violently
But you have more options than you see

Stitches in clay
A temporary fix
A plaster on a wound
That will never heal
Standing in the way
Holding up the falling bricks
Is something that
A child should never have to do
