Why must my friends always run? Do they have no place to be safe? What happened to their home? Has it been stained by hate? If only I could say to them You have one life with no reset We were never equal The dealer poisons our hands But with the cards we have been dealt We no longer have to dwell For our welts enhance our strength I know that you want to go back I wish I had But as the seasons change from bright to gray All we have left is today
