lyrics

Wounded Knee

once when i was fine
watering my feed
i scrolled into a nightmare scene
i saw a man get broken up
his face it was resigned
no ordinary blow
his death it was divined by a pilgrim’s dream

seared indelibly
can’t shake that image free
i was here, i was not there
something dark has woken up
we all know the drill
try and get your fill
it’s just another battle at wounded knee

all is make believe
all is fake until it’s real
all is make believe

there are waves beneath
all this hate they speak
all is make believe

what dislike demands
poor and bloody hands
barely living in that skin
thinking you’ve been woken up
everyone is here
and everyone is fierce
everyone believes in their wooden dreams

you think you want too much
when you look around
standing on a very tall chair
wanting to get woken up
don’t you want to leave
something to believe
are you just resigned to wounded knees

no more white delays
fight or flight delays
no more white delays
there are waves beneath
all this hate you speak
all is make believe
