Only Slightly Better

from The Thief and The Magpie by Thomas Corsaut

lyrics

Calm has come, but only after years of rage
Freedom won, with all your youth left in the cage
Conscience cleaned, with every burning of a page

Only Slightly Better, then having the pallbearer’s seat
Only slightly better, then crawling back up on your feet
Only slightly better, then coming in under the gun
Only slightly better, then a stay of your own execution

Changing times, your time will come and then run out
Cause or crime, the more you ask the more you doubt
Swollen pride, you’re not the first to speak too loud
<Chorus>
Speak your mind, your voice is lost inside the crowd
Raise your hands, the arms beside you pull them down
Stand as one, the ones that fall will be left out

I should have known when to run away
