Where They'd Have Us

Where they'd have us run See them darkening and starkening the lines Twixt citizen and alien Where they'd have us hide See them tightening and heightening the walls Til we can't find the other side I'd like to think we've got it sussed To always known to never go To the places they'd have us Where they'd have us swim See them muddying the waters So we cannot see the shallowness therein
