Calm Night

from Breathe by Mt. Analogue

lyrics

When he got the cash, he put it in the mail
Moved away, tried to stay out of jail
It wasn’t much
Put food up on the table
Wrote home
Lied to seem stable

It was a change
He did what he had to do
It was a shame
He hated his life
Hated what he was going through
No choice
Pack your bag, get in the van and go
No privilege, no papers
What else did he need to know

Tried to make it work at home no opportunities
You could hear the bullets fly through communities

It was a problem
Baby on the way
Gotta get paid
No way to stay
No way to stay

Another plan
Come home take family back with you
New life
No way would a new life live this too

Same van
Pack the bags leave the problems
New chance
Close the door close the violence

It’s going to be okay
Cross the border leave the pain

Headlights lead the way
Find the border break the chain

Calm in the Moon's eye
There was a faint light, not from the sky

Man with a shotgun
Trying to take one life, but he took two lives
Is this freedom
Is this what you paid for

You’ve invested
guns at the front door

If you’re lucky, you’re born on the right side
If you’re not, you might get shot on a calm night
