The mad dog foams and hates down
  the dry street in Maycomb and we
  need Atticus to put the bullet in
  its skull to put things right again.
I will die on the tip of your spear if it evens a score.

Love is a dense forest of Joshua Trees
  in wind torn deserts without hope but
  full of lovers up for the fight of it.
  They can **** in cars and church pews.

It was poised to erupt in flames.
Every group with agendas poured
gasoline on the whole **** thing.
The spark was always gonna' be black.
Will it have to burn to the ground?
Can love even exist in rainbows?

It wasn't love. It was confusion.
Harvest moon's shadow all along
shifting in the midnight surf as
we walked to our forbidden bed.
Stain of ******'s surrender bled.

      there's hope in despair
      fear in bravery
      ignorance in certainty
      doubt in forgiveness
      love lost inside love.

Maybe I'm just a drunk old bird
complaining from the barn rafters.
I make noise and **** when it suits.
No one pays me any mind.
My world always grows colder.
Peck my carcass when it's time.

I'm all alone stranded here
without a prayer.
My boat broke on the rocks
and I eat sushi and coconuts.
I'm alone in paradise
which is a hell of its own.

Back in the day when our
grandparents were swimming
in ponds and kissing girls and
dreaming of them in sleep we
were yet to be imagined as a
possibility. They still had to
fight wars win or lose and hope
to come home whole enough
to keep horrors hidden from
those they loved most of all.
