which drug did you take to look at me that way
don’t take it again, but if you do, give me part of your day
I still wear the ring you brought me
it leaves a shadow on my finger
hit a skinhead with it last winter…
and you would be proud of me
I’m not on my knees anymore
I can’t really feel the floor
let’s go up north though you have no will to
you wanna find the people who want to kill you
there’s a place in your heart that I can’t get into
and Gaza is calling
it’s been years since you’ve been back,
you can’t keep what’s in your hands
and Gaza is calling
every time I say your name
there’s a wall that’s in the way
and we grew up on a street
where every war meets
all our living rooms were aflame
but you led the way
how to hold it all & take the day
you wear that scarf like it’s a vein,
always pack your mothers plates,
you won’t let anything else escape
and I can’t write you a letter
you don’t know how to read
you won’t listen either
so when can I tell you how I feel
how I feel
and Gaza is calling
it’s been years since you been back,
you can’t keep what’s in your hands
and Gaza is calling
every time I say your name
there’s a war that’s in the way
