thrown to the wind as a nation listens

with their ears to the ground

when I remember when

but I’m man enough to have dropped her hands

I know I fucked up but I was only a kid,

I was too short sighted to see what I did

I destroyed what was left of the little you had

and now nothing can bring it back
