Every Time I Die
"Who Invited the Russian Soldier?"

wait till they send your son home in a box
see if youre dancing when water is everywhere
anguish is endless but deaths not ambiguous

wave as it carries him off
pose while he fits you in hospital gowns
or fuck with the xxxx wife
sleep in the bed
light the fire that consumes your house
sing on surveillance tape
smile in your autopsy photo for once
phone up the boys and xxx your bones

will you get off of me life?
as if its done any of us any good.

oh
youre gonna wish you were me when the unsuspecting are dragged
to their graves
and youre standing on the edge holding a rose

dead
where we stand
and you concern yourself with such things
as your status
and whats in fashion

dont say you cant be this bothered
death becomes us all
youve got some nerve
let me open this ghost town port of xxxx

someday your insides will turn themselves out
tell me what purpose our efforts have served
when we end up in the ground
more acts will follow the roles we have played
and everything loved will expire
ive seen it all in a war zone because of it
good men have died in my arms
i have been everywhere
you will end up in the same death
whats the point

there is nothing to see here
and nothing gazes back at me
there is nothing to see here
and that nothing looks back at us
