For My People

Used to sip on the pressure now it's gone Used to box with the centaurs too long Split and float upstream Just to relinquish better means Punctured the heart and caught all the blood in a song Used to loose my lunch by your parking garage Used to circle the drain by the firing squad I looked for better things inside of better dreams I opened my eyes And saw how your light goes dark Just another day to fill with summer Just another friend to hold you under Stood next to the fire way too long Here's another one to keep you younger Here's another one to help you suffer I'm here for my people and I'm gone Used to think that the sirens scream too loud Left too many friends without making a sound You look like I need you to be impressed by simple things Picked the ego apart and look for your face in a crowd Just another day to fill with summer Just another friend to hold you under Stood next to the fire way too long Here's another one to keep you younger Here's another one to help you suffer I'm here for my people and I'm gone
