Walking Is Still Honest

Dear mother
This is just survival
Cannot promise your children everything
But you would lie so they can sleep tonight
Defeat tasted nothing like you said
Still 22 days left till the end of the world
My legacy was making you a man
For a justice I could not change
This is one voice not to forget
Fight every fight like you can win
An iron fisted champion
An iron willed fuck up

Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me?
Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas?
Why death is easier than living?
You can be almost anything
When you're on your fucking knees
Not today
Not my son
Not my family
Not while walking is still honest
And you haven't given up on me

Dear shithead
This isn't happening
The sky is really falling
The paint's all made of lead
There's asbestos in the walls
Hell's come over to rip off the doors
To the priveleged mansion
Do you want to love and feel it?
You can look but you can't taste it
You can reach but you'll never have it
We are untouchable
Untouchable is something to be

Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me?
Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas?
Why death is easier than living?
You can be almost anything
When you're on your fucking knees
Not today
Not my son
Not my family
Not while walking is still honest
And you haven't given up on me
And you haven't given up on me
And you haven't forgotten me
