It’s a brushfire spreading, feeding as it moves
It’s a disappeared glacier, it’s an airborne flu
It’s your disbelieving eyes locked in concrete miles 
It’s your yawning conscious and your lawyer’s smile
It’s an occupied country, foaming at the mouth
No smoking gun, no mushroom cloud
It’s a military mother with a boy in hell
And it’s a flag draped casket down an oil well
It’s an Argentina school girl, gagged and bound
It’s a torture camp, it’s a long way down
It’s the constant brace and shock of now
It’s the whole damn world turned inside out, all right

It’s a march to extinction with your god in step
It’s his name in your mouth, it’s his cross on your neck
It’s a farm boy sprinting over desert dirt
And he’s panting the ‘Our Father’ in staccato spurts
now that's his automatic rifle and it tells no lies
That’s his truth in your stomach, it’s no alibi 
But the trouble lies on the other side

With an equal truth prepping for his holy night
He sees his crescent and the star in the virgin sky
He hears the call of milk and honey from the afterlife
And as he eases to the check point, he is calm and sure
It’s collateral damage, it’s the cost of war

It’s another bag of bones for the gods to sort
It’s just another bag of bones for the gods to sort

It’s the species disappearing, all the birds fly south
In a January heat wave and a pulsing crowd
It’s an African militia, kids with sub machines
It’s a conflict diamond on your bride to be
It’s the dispossessed lining up every gate
It’s the facts worth facing, faced way too late
It’s the mission of modernity, go get what’s yours’
’Til there’s nothing leftover to get no more
And it’s not what were owed but it’s what we’ve earned
And it’s closer than we realized that it's time now, to burn

It’s time now to burn
Oh, it’s time now to burn

There's a train that's coming from the east coast
Someday it'll bring me back to where I'm from.
Babe we'll miss each other for a while,
but there's somethings back there that I have to do,
Damage I've run from that needs to be undone.

I'll fly North East for the summer,
I promise I'll crash back down by fall.
Though the Michigan air is calming,
I'll always love you my Arizona sun,
Heat and all.

I'll get there on a Sunday,
Roam the streets I used to know.
Wind up at a cross road,
And realize,
I've always known exactly where I need to go.

They'll be a yellow house that's been waiting,
Green shutters and all.
For it's young girl who loves wondering,
To travel back home
broken, scared, and all.
Through the window there's a new little girl living there.
Blissfully unaware that she's about to fall.
But I'll leave that house just sitting there,
Hasta plants, green grass, past laughs and all.

I'll give some recognition to the words I wish I'd never said,
And say my goodbyes to the endings ,
And hellos to what's ahead.

By Fall I'll be in your arms crying,
Thanking God for what he's done
I've said my goodbyes to the east coast,
And bathed myself in your blistering sun.

We're a perfect exchange in the making 

There's a 50-50 split up ahead

this relationships a partnership

I'll make half, while you make the other half of our shared modern floor level bed

I am the over thought lyrics, and you are the of mixed tune

We can be #2 on the top charts 

If you'll be the sun while I  am the moon

Brown eyes counter green eyes

While white lies counter truth, I'll miss you when you miss me

Equal love as far as the eye can see

We are

Experiential factors 

dependent on equal 

Independent from love

Sporadic? 

Maybe if we wanted an unequal love 

I won't fight dishonesty 

cus we both know you wouldn't die for me

And like hell I'd ever die for you

Equal love ideally

presently it kills me

There's no harmony in this kind of tune

We're an unequal split in the making

The #'s are still running through my head 

and when we wake up in the morning, we won't even bother making the bed

" My loves like an anchor, you are the sea, I'm a ragging storm, and you are my calming breeze, unequal halves that fall into place, Love like a fire, requiring grace"
