Layin' on the Tracks

This civil war that we've been fighting in Since before the flood Yeah, there's a part of us that's always been At home in the blood Nobody knows where to find you Nobody knows you half the time Have you seen what it's like At the razor's edge? The part of you that needed love You had to kill, you had to make it pay But It keeps slipping through the cracks You cannot fill this shadow you can't slay The crowds will gather in the poison rain To hear what they want Scream and cheer for what was once insane That passes for fun It's a killing joke that no one laughs at A stupid orange man in a cheap red hat Will you stand with me now At the river's edge? The part of me that turned away I have to kill, I have to break the chain Because your suffering, it is my pain It is my suffering Layin' on the tracks I don't wanna come back I don't wanna come Layin' down the tracks In case I can't come back Come back from where I've gone
