lyrics

FIGHTER

when I came out you said you knew then I was a fighter
I only held my own, with my little gun
shooting up the grocery store, picking out the spies
it’s hard to tell without an eye
in the sky

fall back boys they got the parking lot and
rendezvous by the graveyard gate
bang, bang you’re dead I said you’re dead now
try not to breathe when you’re down, on the ground

blankets, locks and knobs no good against the Grays
They came for you….will They come for me too?
a mouth like a slit in wet clay...
ring, ring my mom she called around
just like when a bird got in the house
a neighbor had to come by and put me on the porch

now I’m a man ain’t I a man
and five o’clock comes around
in the dark sometimes
I see you underneath a swinging light Dad,
teach me how to fight
we still have tonight
tonight

and even now you say someday I’m gonna be a fighter
so I put ‘em up, I circle ‘round

mom she started yelling
we were in the yard
you let me get you once and then I started crying
then you laid me out with one punch, I spun around
but you, you caught me as I fell
and laid me on the ground...

boy, little boy
you’re still sleeping
with your glove
