Concessions

It's not as simple as we thought it was at the start of this
A testimony delivered by
A frantic tongue behind clenched fists

Kings of castles moated by consistency
And simple heathens bellow for
The simple thing they need

Well I've made concessions
When concessions arise
Despite all our instincts
Our tribes have been cast to the side

And from all directions
When civility reigns
Exchange knowing nods
Between castrated gods
With the stones piling high and their
Throats dense with rage

Sanctity in suffering
Infinite exceptions
Averting unpracticed gazes

The dust of a thousand cities hasn't yet been washed from our eyes
So come claim what you came for
In the hollows we'll salvage our lives
We'll skin the night

Well I've made concessions
I've made concessions

A man among men
Lost men among men
