Way downstairs underneath the floorboards
they've buried our children there
will I ever once breathe them in?
Shut me out,
would they even care if I ever went home again?
I can never go home again
I gave up the same as they
and I have no say in where they're taking them
(you can't slow down the machine)
and my stomach keeps turning...
Everything you think you know,
everything that you've been told,
a clever twist of words and small patterns in the dirt.
