Morton’s Fork

We’ve got hearts and muddied brains
We’ve got blood inside our veins
We search for love and run from pain
We give and we take away

For children, we wish different fates
We wait for blood and we create
We push them out and give them names
And pass on all of our mistakes

All of our choices
Lead to the same violent ends

We say things that we don’t mean
We kiss and hug and fight and scream
We bleed, we hurt, we chase our dreams
And settle when we’re out of steam

All of our choices
Lead to the same violent ends

I’ll burn this whole place down
I’ll burn this whole place down
The only truth I’ve found
Is nothing is the way I thought it
When I was a child
