You know, that’s one of the few songs that has always felt...
[Verse 1]
Dear mother
This is just survival
Can't promise your children everything
But you lied so they can sleep tonight
Defeat tasted nothing like you said
Still twenty days left till the end of the world
My legacy was making you a man
(For a justice I could not change)
(This is one voice not to forget)
Fight, fight like you'll win
An iron-fisted champion
An iron-willed fuck-up
[Chorus]
Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me?
Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas?

And you haven't given up on me
[Verse 2]

You can look, but you can't taste it
You can reach but you'll never have it
We are untouchable
Untouchable is something to be
[Chorus]
Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me?
Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas?
Why death is easier than living?
You can be almost anything
When you're on your fucking knees
Not today
Not my son
Not my family
Not when walking is still honest
And you haven't given up on me
