Exoskeletons - 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
