Already Dad

from Fight Fire with Water by Bore War

/

lyrics

From ​​captive father
to a stranded son
“Your world is buoyed by love
but my heart has shrunk”
Poison floods the chamber
covers all he’s ​bought ​
Block by garish block
Shelves chock with wrong stock
and a gate to guard the rot

Some of us get breaks,
and others break apart
Fortune sires luck
No shame in naming ills
No innocence on captured film
Expose it all

These cartoon villains
perform their outrageous crimes
​Reports relayed from the margins​
but who could be bothered​
In a place free from promise
Pride smothers ​the ​pain
Thoughts bland as fair weather​
Pace slow as decay
From village to island to grave

Born in bits
Ground to absence
​No shade, all clouds
Envelop us

Chop, chop
Here is the work
Unnatural disaster, unflattering truth
Chop, chop
Bystanders go hiding in plain view
We cut until the root’s removed
Torch passed, torch returns to burn
