Crying streets
Everyone kneeling
Bent over looking up
Falling down
Patience grows thin
Hairlines recede
Ghosts evaporate into a child's mouths
There is no elect
Superstition
Prophecies neon-glowing
This one's going, going, going, gone
Growing up, overflowing
The sea will crash into the math
Our wisdom will be turned upside down
There is no elect
There is no elect
There is no disconnect
This bloodline tracing
Is bastardizing
Our natural union
We are an ocean
A single nation
There is no elect
