I dug some graves You’ll never find
.
The story’s told With facts and lies

I could not kill The way you kill
I could not hate I tried I failed
.
You turned me in At least you tried
You side with them Whom you despise
.
This was your heart This swarm of flies
This was once your mouth This bowl of lies
.
You serve them well I’m not surprised
You’re of their kin You’re of their kind
.
Never mind Never mind
The story’s told With facts and lies
You own the world So never mind
.
Never mind Never mind
I live the life I left behind
.
I live it full I live it wide
Through layers of time You can’t divide
.
My woman’s here My children too
Their graves are safe From ghosts like you
.
In places deep With roots entwined
I live the life I left behind
