we are all destroyed by dawn

our shattered lives, they sing this song
of hammers and knives and whores and bongs
 
we are all destroyed by dawn
our broken minds
they won’t last long
husbands and wives
and write and wrong
 
we are all destroyed by dawn
we strive at night
to make it home
then cry and sigh
over floors we fall upon
 
we are all destroyed by dawn
running over lies
such sad situations
we can’t deny we almost die
we shrivel when left alone
 
we are all destroyed by dawn
the useless sex that we are denied
is still no emancipation
tho we vie and strive
for participation
 
we are all destroyed by dawn
the coming truth in sight
the realization
that no one is kind
just out for acquisitions
 
we are all destroyed by dawn
the truth denied
its such suppression
that the only guide to show us why
is buried in apprehension
 
we are all destroyed by dawn
our hands are tied
by our alienation
and it’s pure pride that gets us by
as time keeps marching on
 
we are all destroyed by dawn
