Stakes

Facing our fears
we throw
a stick in

Unrelenting in our
presence
of many

Hopeful and hopping
on
one leg
and putting it off

Try to pull out the shaft of
the arrow real quick
make it a clean break

I pray they take the bait -
and we wait

Never been so scared in my life
And I knew how it'd end
I knew how it'd end
Facing our fears as we
throw our
sticks in

We carried death right
out of the village

We witnessed it

Rebuild without
answers
Pave our roads
over

Until the paint
Dries
And we rest

Burn everything
on the
premises.
