lyrics

Did you ever fear the power within my prayer?
The harm that crosses me, marks me
Chains me with its passage
This history that crosses me, marks me
Leaves me struck with anger

And I cry through my teeth
Violence always finds me
And I smile through the pain
Cause I know why this stays the same

The church murders for the money
The police murder for this country
And They stand up with pride

The church murders for the money
The police murder for this country
And They stand up with pride

They live in fear of my heart
They live in fear of my mind

I step out into the center of the rising sun
Why only now do you admit how this is done?
The angels that hover over me
The state that follows me so dearly
In the car on the street
in the car on the street

put down in the middle of life
put down in the middle of my prime
I am made "clean" in your ignorance
I am made "clean" in your ignorance

and I cry through my teeth
cause violence always finds me
