Simple Dot

Everything I own
The only thing I own; a single piece of stone
A fragment of my home
The only home that I have ever truly known

As I let it fly
Thrown towards the crowd
The neighbours I once loved
Are chanting for my blood

It started with
A simple dot and a simple line
On a fancy map divvying up the land
Saying this part's mine and that part's yours
And if you don't leave now, you will leave by force
"This was my mother's house, and her father's before"
I yelled at the men saying it isn't no more

So what could I do?
But let them step through?
As long as you're with me
We'll make it, I knew

The boom, the roar, the fire
The boom, the roar, the fire
The boom, the roar, the fire
The hate that it inspired

As I grasp for more
Things to beat and throw
I feel your saddened eyes
From beyond the skies

As I grasp for more
Things to beat and throw
I feel your saddened eyes
Those cold and lifeless eyes

The boom, the roar, the fire
The boom, the roar, the fire
The boom, the roar, the fire
The hate that it inspired

As I'm falling down
Running through my mind
Pieces of what was
All we had is lost

Just a simple dot
Ink on linen cloth
Saying not to try
Saying we should die
