Things We've Never Done

I'm a graveyard personified
Walking through the streets under the lights at night
Ambivalence guides my way
But all that I can say is that I don't have the head space today
To process the genocide
That's unfolding right before my eyes
It may not come as much of a surprise
But I might be a tad bit desensitized at times
Oh get it away from me
Oh get it away from me

I've reached for the things we have left
Trying to make sense of what we have
I'm feeling a shift in the ground
The time to act is now
We're doing things we've never done

I'm a soldier terrified
Trying to keep my heart up through the fight in spite
Of never knowing who's quite on my side
And wondering if this will last my entire life
It's removing energy
A breeding ground for anxiety
You never know one day it could be me
Lying in the street
Neck under the knee
Struggling to breathe
Oh get it away from me

I've reached for the things we have left
Trying to make sense of what we have
I'm feeling a shift in the ground
The time to act is now
We're doing things we've never done

And I've mustered the strength to move along
The torch has been passed to us all
Inevitable change is near
The place to be is here
We're doing things we've never done

Oh were doing things we've never done
We're doing things we've never done

I've reached for the things we have left
Trying to make sense of what we have
I'm feeling a shift in the ground
The time to act is now
We're doing things we've never done

And I've mustered the strength to move along
The torch has been passed to us all
Inevitable change is near
The place to be is here
We're doing things we've never done
