Protest The Hero
Lyrics for Song: Palms Read
Lyrics for Album: Fortress [2008]
As often as always evolution is crawling from the sea,
Alive with the urgency like suicide,
Convinced the grass is greener on dry earth;
The march of serrated utterance like a soft cough
Muffled murmur sneaking through the lecture hall
The crawl across the island, the sound of waves;
Embodied water sprouting legs as loud as gallop,
Cuffing down on ground against the cries of gravity.
All the young people who took a leak without faith into a riverbed
That drowns about as much as it saves
All the young cowards acting out for the brave forever
Hurled into the waters of their indifferent graves
Belly-up, half buried in the sand,
Extend a hand to the smallness of death.
Understand that only dying is this colossal, creation shedding skin
To find a perfect equilibrium like fossils
For a million years, raise your glass in cheers –
We will never answer where we came from only how we got here
