Tell Me Leza

It's a feeling, everybody lies
it carries with it a sound
to make this young life wither and die
and if you're in the mood, thats the moment I will pry
so I know, yes I know your name
do you feel that a secret can become a lie?
when your backs on the wall and your heart is as black as mine
tell me Leza why

Cut through canebrake
deep into cold souls
who've done nothing but live as those before them buried in the soil
and If you want to love
listen to their toil
so you know, yes you know their pain
the labors hard and the end is the only gain
but, I'm not human and I only have myself to blame
so don't ask me why

Stop your tears boy, everybody cries
it carries with it a sound to make the vultures circle the sky
no you must stand tall, stick it in their eye
so they know, yes the know your pain
we will sing our songs from the hollows of our shallow graves
and it won't be long till you see us and we say your name
tell me Leza why
