Paul Michael White Jr. - Ahimsa lyrics

You set yourself up for disappointment Slowed them down, but they get back up The living dead of the working cla** Dust themselves off & go back to work Married to their unpaid debt & rising costs They just keep on charging They just keep on charging Illusion of time pulls you along Plant memories, forgotten songs & battle cries; the written word has died It's been replaced by bright neon signs The well's gone dry, the pain can't subside They want to medicate you They want to medicate you She was right about the wait You watched this town die & you were saved By the trees that spoke for her They all wore her face Told you, "you have to go before it's too late" "Don't ever settle down here" "Don't ever settle down here" Her branches carry you out Follow dead stars to where she'll be In the black burnt earth Beyond the sea They all wore her face Told you, "you have to go before it's too late" "Don't ever settle down here" "Don't ever settle down"
