New Ruins - The Kidcrash

It was the worst of this war

All the politics and metaphors

An empty page, the battlefield

Turn it 'cause i fight in secret

Cross it out and i’ll just sleep it off

It had never been

So quiet

I could hear the house working

So i thought about some things

Everything that’s died

How your tongue will never come untied

The shivers down their spines

And what the city would look like if you set it all on fire

And this is the day when you’re in the ambulance again

And this is the pain that is so infantile and ancient

So i wrote it down fell asleep woke up

And looked around

From a dream so alive

I was born inside a body bag

Too scared to shut my eyes, i just thought

The history they severed

How i can’t find the right words

Why i should never say never

And what it feels like to remember

And this is the day when, you’re in the ambulance again

And this is the pain that is so infantile and ancient.
