Broken Treaties

Forgive the violence of lonely years living
With crushed bones through restless nights
My wounded knees shattered houses in the wind
Oh this place looks like a graveyard
It's been a long time, don't mean anything
I can't forgive now, look at the shape I'm in

Talk to me now don't close your eyes on me
You saw me smiling once, wasn't meaningless
Dead ponies on my mind, stolen, murdered dreams
Buried beneath my feet
It's been a long time, don't mean anything
I can't talk right now, look at the shape I'm in

Look at us now
We've been put out of sight
Locked and trapped and and I can't stand the pain in my mother's eyes
And don't send none of your money
It can't fix broken treaties
Look at the shape we're in
I don't feel too good right now, look at the shape I'm in

I try to think about something new
Not much to find round here but alcohol
The future's pointing from behind
Pin me up against the sky oh when I die
It's been a long time, don't mean anything
I can't think too much right now, look at the shape I'm in

Forgive the violence of lonely years living
With crushed bones through restless nights
My wounded knees shattered houses in the wind
Oh this place looks like a graveyard
It's been a long time, don't mean anything
I can't forgive now, look at the shape I'm in

Look at us now
We've been put out of sight
Locked and trapped and and I can't stand the pain in my mother's eyes
And don't send none of your money
It can't fix broken treaties
Look at the shape we're in
The shape we're in
