Your Hate Could Power A Train

[Verse 1]

Under blue lamp light and radio waves

A lab full of white coats examine the frame

Of the mind and its suffering, but no one can say

How someone reclaims a little autonomy

Sold it to the land, tossed it like seed

Saw it grow hands and fold me underneath

Your name is a torch to the skin, and I've heard it

Spoken it so many times it hardly sounds like a word

You're not to be crossed, but then you never were

You say God and men have always raced to be first

And I'm under the table catching the excess

Left to be strung over two thousand frets

What does it say about you?

Your hate could power a train

And what does it say about me?

Your love could get away with anything

With anything

I put the needle to the groove and let it play out

While you're playing on virtue, what could I say now?

Plain as the limb on your family tree

I know the way they hurt you is the way you hurt me

Quietly I'm losing my mind, losing my mind, losing my mind

And you don't seem to mind now

What does it say about you?

Your hate could power a train

And what does it say about me?

Your love could get away with anything

With anything

I'm not messing around, not ready to laugh about it

I don't worship the ground that's holding you

I think it's wrong, the way you harm

But no one ever looks too hard at it

What does it say about you?

Your hate could power a train

And what does it say about me?

Your love could get away with anything
