Sinners

from Nightingale by Joe Bailey

lyrics

Here we are, in the thick of it.
Intertwined, but separate.
Open to a new beginning,
Where we can't drown, unless we're swimming.

There they go, they sleep in cages.
Where life goes by, and nothing changes.
And they succeed, but they're not winning.
And they might shout, but we're not listening.

And without light, we are familiar.
And we can fight, but we're not killers.

Sky an oar through the blood and the tears in the wastelands, and in the bowels of the battlefield.
Swim ashore, earn your wings when you've sewn up the legwork, take your seats for the big reveal.
There'll be no matter of opinion, no hazy eyes.
There'll be no question of dominion, no minds to outsize.

Spread your toes on the stones in the pits of the ocean,
And clear your skin of the dirty deals.
No more scores, no more wars, just enjoy the emotion,
And feel the sin that we all conceal.

You are a victim and a villain, a sinning saint.
You are a man and you're a woman, with healthy complaints.
