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.
