Occupation paves the way for war machines and apathy
The newsprint smears disguising the lives we should be grieving
These concrete walls aren't victory, the olive trees aren't breathing
Their monuments to tragedy are the mass graves we're digging

Whispered stories through the cyclone fence
Is it poetry or fear?
Another story about the way things went
No subtleties in tears

And we can never hear the bombs drop
behind the barricades and body counts
Gnash our teeth and sign along
as the vultures swarm and carry us away
And we can’t see where the tanks crawl
behind the fire lines and broken walls
Shut our eyes and play along
as the vultures swarm and carry us away

Bullets fall in hails
We never see the bodies drop
as the vultures swarm and carry us away

Can’t speak – we don’t know the language
Can’t breathe – we choke on the anthems
Can’t dream – we’re broken and banned from a place called home

Checkpoints map cartographies of stolen land and refugees
They unstitch the clothes they're wearing to sew the tents they sleep in
They hold the keys their parents saved but the locks and doors are gone
Is it a prison where you sleep at night if you can still see the stars?
