worlds stare me down
stare down the barrel of the 45
the life
that killed me
the ignorance fulfilled me
killed me
with faces that I’ve known
faces
they were my own

world chase me down
away, chase away the world away
the thing
that killed me
the ignorance fulfilled me
killed me
with worlds that I’ve lived
worlds
that were my own

beat, beat me down
your ignorance beats me down
the ignorance
that killed me
the ignorance fulfilled me
killed me
with the sticks I’ve swung
against you
Now are were my own
