in out

one two three four

in and out.

two two three four.

don't fight

don't scream

don't grab the stick

leave weapons all blunted

and don't give a shit.

there's nothing more to do

be at peace

it's alright.

they'll come chasing violence

let them feed the flame

they'll know too late that they're out of choices

so let them scream your name.

ignore it.
