Letters of Transit - Alive With Something Violent

I dissent
Nothing here reads how it should
A focus on the wrong things
Dangerous conclusions do no good
Desperate for a brighter day
Hopeful that our daughters will survive
A country locked in crisis mode
Is hardly one to bridge this vast divide
And I know I will not go
And I know I-I-I will
Me and all my friends
Walked down to the edge
In our search for new direction
The sea
The light
The shore
The call
The lure
The luck
The lead
The line
The sound
The barriers are up and now
These desperate times may call for desperate measures
The constant misdirection
The lack of moral center
Just keep your head above the water
All these broken words
Weaponize the sound
There’s no need for clear instruction
The scene
The fight
The score
The lull
The cure
The fuck
The need
The grind
The ground
Is alive with something violent and
These desperate times may call for desperate measures
The constant misdirection
The lack of moral center
The consequence of action without leaders
Paints us in a corner
Come across as theater
Adjust your gaze just left of center
(I dissent)
(A country locked in crisis mode)
And I know I will not go
And I know I-I-I will
