I Was Born In A Marathon

On days where the state I pay

Makes drone attacks two worlds away

I drink some wine... and feel mostly okay

But even if it's not my fault

I can't quite shake the small dark thought

That I... made this worse place

I was born in a marathon

Now I'm lost at sea

They were standing on shaky ground

Now they're off the street

I could see the faces made

It's not for me

Spittled corners and motormouthed

With the ground and teeth

I was born in a marathon

Well, look at me

They were shaky but holding on

Now they got it beat

I could see in the faces made

They're really clean

Have some trying to choke 'em out

Now they float in breeze
