Mesopotamia

Today my body was on the ground
But it wasnt surpirsing what i found
Spent the night trying to make a fine life
Squeezing complicated lives into a simple right

I have your face here in with the county
But doesn't help me being safe in my country
I took a war knife from a ditch
but the knife gave me a pinch

I haven't seen a lot of people, it feels like for years
Thought this would be the end of me then i burst into tears
I see a tank go by as it goes
Then sat down in Diyarbakır I watch the Tigris river as it flows

The worst of us are a long drawn speculation
The best of us are geniuses of compression
You say you're not going to leave the truth alone.
I'm here cause I don't have a home

I see a smolian boat that has sank
A Civilian dies from getting shot for prostesting in West Bank.
I'm waiting on the bench for friend, he's taking a while to come to Babylonia
Watching the sun go down in Mesopotamia

Now I've got a head like a lit cigarette
Unholy clouds reflecting in a minaret
You're so low and deep, deeper than every damn one
Where are you in Mesopotamia?
