Exoskeletons Lyrics - Tourniquet

Waiting in fear 

My stepfather's prey 

Mother's mistake 

Now I'm blackmailed not to say 

Try to explain 

To a starving child 

The check's in the mail 

But it hasn't arrived 

We've got money for weapons 

And appeals to crimes 

Shadrack of Kenya 

May never reach five 

Look around and I will show you now 

A world that needs a way out 

Look around and I will show you how 

A man can gain understanding 

Can you tell that it's me? 

Chemo has arrived 

Like a drive-by shooting 

Both the good and bad cells die 

The funeral's delayed 

Until the newlyweds arrive 

They pull him from the car 

That she followed behind 

State of panic reasoning 

Interrupts while she cries 

Summons the priest 

Can you fit two inside? 

Time has no respect for man 

Rain falls on the good and bad 

Though we may not understand 

We can choose to watch or extend our hands 

Look around and I will show you now 

A world that needs a way out 

Look around and then look at yourself 

Because you can help them out
