	And no more, can I pretend So I eat the hearts of all the jesters until the audience relents. Please don’t despair, because I protest You can’t make reference to a prophet with that thing strapped to your chest. And now I see your heads down Right until they’re underground, and every little laugh comes through my teeth. The hands we held were torn apart and no one checked the mirror for the thief. I don’t know, If we should stay. Parliament’s iniquitous; we were meant to love but we push the world away. And in their best clothes they go dancing on the graves of slaves and saints, disguised as fire and rain. Let me take the weight from any life that tried to live and felt the same. Why have your finger on the pulse when its a gun and all the bullets bare your name. Will someone tie me own, and course oblivion through my veins. We force the gentle souls to eat themselves whilst the pragmatists all declare themselves insane. And I know that you don’t need this now. I suppose the armistice waits underground. And so for all of them with nothing now Just the lorn and trembling blues.

All proceeds generated in January will be donated to The JED Foundation (US) and The Campaign Against Living Miserably (UK)
