He Is Never Coming Back - Gaza

I’ll always be there first to assess the situation

To gain the advantage

To push you further beneath me

Because you wanted this

Because you pulled the kicking legs from the insect

This ain’t your mother

You’re gonna find a god

Because you wanted this

Because you look to the sky

You f*cking knew better

This ain’t your mother

You’re gonna find a god

We’ll drink the blood of birds and through all this change we’ll wipe our chins

and drink some more

We are race horses

Some of us are more happy about that than others

Some of us more eager to win that race

Cooking the meat kept us, not prayer

I called you and you answered me like a fool

The sky was gray and you were a small child without bones in your arms

Now you’re a man who died propped up against a fence in the shadow of your

favorite bible story

Still without bones in your arms

A mourning husband with a pistol in his hand

He will smile at you with the meat of a leg joint in his teeth

We had our day

Before our hands grayed and died, before the world dried up

We had our day

We walked along the road and picked up the bones that were our relatives

We had our day

I put my face to the dogs and let them pull the smile from me

After your eyes sink and grow further useless, not even vultures will pull the

meat from your windowless house

You have never done anything

He is never coming back

Armies of the half dead with their arms to the sky

Burn my body when I’m bloody dead

I don’t want to be found with any of you

I won’t be found with any of you
