lyrics

I am not the Messiah.
I cannot heal the sick
or make the lame to stand.
And I would not want to wear that crown.
(Pray for unity)
How would I choose who to save,
when every one of us is broken?
I cannot tell you you are not,
but that does not mean
there are not debts to pay.

(Prey for unity)
This falcon never had a falconer to hear
or not to hear.
Should I try to protect the mouse below--
the killing is in the system.
We need meat.
And if water is life and death is real
then we cannot put out the fire
(are we more than beast)
and I cannot do anything
but if I'm silent I am complicit

And we will never be as one
because to be as one
we need an enemy.
We are the enemy.
The self is the enemy.
