We're From Detroit Paroles

inhale
look around gaze through the battlefield
put myself to sleep counting bodies
on the windshield

exhale at sale
at sale let's sail
paying our dues and don't celebrate this new arrival
we're trying on survival and it's fitting so nice
we'll keep it
our days are better off choosing you
just one or two days at a time keeping pace
through mountains, planes, trees, and cityscrapes,
yet it's almost always the same place,
same faces with different names,
saturated in their underground,
jaded with feet nailed firmly down.

devirginized years ago,
Listen, lend an ear to open hearts
or sell your soul to artist and repertoire
