The Horde

from No Comply by The Well

lyrics

When I look out I see chain-link fences
When I look out I see windowless walls
When I strain to hear the calm at sundown
It's swallowed by sirens and catcalls

All around me
Outstretched palms hustling something
Outstretched fingers laying the blame
The sprawl of an empire nobody asked for
The reek of a shitstorm
No surrender, no quarter

How am I gonna find myself a home?
And how am I gonna earn the right to call it that?
There is no sanctuary
There is no end in fucking sight

No matter where I lay my hand it seizes
No matter where I hand my head it's poison

The thundering ocean of crushing glass
The canopy of lidless eyes
The pallor flesh turned underfoot
The wholeness of un-empty skies

The cranes get bigger and
The people get smaller
The blood in the gutter
Gets thicker and darker

There'll be no place to sleep
There'll be no enemy but me to fight
