Held like water in you shaking hands

are all the small defeats a day demands.
E A B A E
10-6 or 9-5 trying, dying to survive.
E A E
Never knowing what survival means.

Overcome the stupid things we say.

Cynicism falls asleep.
C# A
Tyranny talks to itself.
B E
Sappy slogans all come true.
C# A B B
We forget to feed our fear.
