Border of Flesh

I crossed the world with my feet on fire
Carrying a country that no longer calls me
On the other side, a wall awaits me
Calling my hunger an act of war

I didn't bring a bomb, I brought hunger
I didn't bring hatred, I brought a name
But at the border I am a threat
I'm a number, I'm mass, not a face

They look at me like a stain
On the map that they drew
They shut the door with the same hand
That once invited me in

Border of flesh
Where I bleed and cannot pass
I'm a body without a homeland
I'm a shadow in the embrace
Border of flesh
No one sees my ground
I am a stranger
In every direction

I left my home under fire
I found another fire on the other side
My child asks where home is
I don't know anymore I just know it's wrong

No wall can hold
The size of my hunger
No law can erase
The weight of my name

Border of flesh
Where I bleed and cannot pass
I'm a body without a homeland
I'm a shadow in the embrace

I crossed the world with my feet on fire
I just wanted ground that wouldn't call me a disgrace
