Tomorrow's Light

Grey dust night with iron trees Blistered heat rotates the earth to freeze Colored rain in a prism bleeds Tomorrow, they'll be flowers. Lips so sour they bite themselves Eyes with sandpaper lids and nails Heart discarded like ancient shells Tomorrow, I'll be young. Bright light camera infernal lies News is that someone's loved one died Damage a child and you will be tried but then you'll be set free. Justice has turned a deaf ear to me The red tide swells at the edge of the sea Elevate the heat in this room a degree Tomorrow, truth emerges. Slippery ground on an earthquake bank The world's greatest minds blow a nuclear think tank Shoulders to grindstones 'till the grindstones sank Tomorrow, freedom breathes. Tomorrow, freedom breathes.
