lyrics

I came to with a snake lying on my chest 
Little dust in my eyes, little blush in the sky 
The sun was rising fast 
I laid still for hours, just me and the desert flowers 
But I hear howling echoing from where I came 

The sweat ran down my brow down to my feet 
And I swear I could see
The ghost of my former life chasing me 
Vultures fly over my helpless head and I…
See a sight: a blurred line between the land and sky
I still see the guard towers glinting in the distance 
If I'm cut down now the coyote's my only witness

And I'm hot like a comet entering the atmosphere 
As soon as I hit the sky, I just disappear 
Holding onto my shape as I break 
After all this time how much more can I take?

When they take, and they take, and they take....

How many miles til the city accepts me?
How many times will the fisherman net me?
How many times?
On the line, out to dry, caught to die

Holding onto my shape as I break 
After all this time how much more can I take? 

The jails are full, can't take no more
Cause the jails are full, can't stay here anymore

And I won't stop until every wall drop
And I know that we can't stop until every wall drop
And I know that I won't stop until every wall drop
And I know that we can't stop until every wall drop, drop

Cause the jails are full, can't take no more

Holding onto my shape as I break, 
After all this time how much more can I take?
