lyrics

I used to think
that justice --
justice --
was something you meet
with a mouth full of dirt
and a skull full of worms.
Better
to have never,
never been born

Now I think I know better:
justice is a dog biting back;
justice is my bleeding hand;
justice is my lonely walk home;
justice is me in your arms.

I used to think
that power
was something to fear
with blood on its mouth
and hate in its heart.
Stronger
just meant
more willing to hurt.

Now I think I know better:
power is us walking in hand;
power is us moving through pain;
power is my wound healing up;
power is you in my arms.
