A Prayer To Whoever's Listening (ft. Cherno Biko)

from Ordinary Eternal Machinery by Nathan Leigh

/

lyrics

the problem is that we all think we know just what the problem is
if you go and look for answers, the first thing you find’s bound to look like it
and eli, eli i wish for once
that you could just exist
right now i don’t think i believe in much of anything

there we were waiting for the rain to come, but none of us could see that we were the rain

and i was choking back my tears in hopes that nobody would see that i was crying
while you were watching all that spectacle you didn’t notice people dying
and i pray st. audre lorde
that your words won’t be ignored
there’s barely room upon this altar
for the names of all the martyred

there we were waiting for the rain to come, but none of us could see that we were the rain

it was the summer of my discontent
and i don’t know where it went
it’s just it was the first year that i didn’t see the mountains
and i’d like to think that in the end
we did more than just pretend
but all those things we did, well i have my doubts about them

there we were waiting for the rain to come, but none of us could see that we were the rain
