Still Love

Bad news on my breath I gotta smoke it out Bad teeth in my mouth I gotta smash it up I was a snake, or something vile It's a shame, I can't remember now But I still love Could I still love Bad taste on your tongue Why don't you spit me out I talk big shit I got nothing to back it up I'm the shame and the sin of men The mistakes of my future son But I still love Could I still love And I'm made up of parts, not quite the sum Worth less for all I've done But I still love Bloodied knuckles and blackened eyes You wear your bruises like a disguise Because what you fear the most Are the words stuck in your throat But you won't give up the ghost, no You just carry it alone And you still love Serpents in a row all devouring our tails We are hungry for injustice and we're loading up the scales We signal revolution but we only know the motions Will our children kill for water, will they ever see the ocean When the oil runs out we'll go deeper down the well Until we kill the children buried deep within ourselves But at the end of all the burning we'll be crying for our mothers If we'd learned to love ourselves maybe we could have loved each other
