lyrics

When we all looked up from our phones
there were longer shadows in our homes
and the ones that lived by high ideals
couldn't reach the ones tucking in to lesser meals

And on the rough edges of town
a smug, cackling jackal laid down
Contented, taking rest
it bit a hole in the center of Hope's chest

The shiny black spiders out
from the wound the jackal made with its mouth
and The Decent In-Between
are absorbed in the cogs of the Black Machine

Then shapeless rage filters the light
and division fires draw the angry eye
and the claws inside reasonable hands
rend the truth until we no longer understand

And the Decent In-Between tonight
feel enemies on their left and right
and they try to quiet their head
remembering better days, breaking better bread

Closed eyes, tasting better bread
Hopeful minds, wanting better bread
Acid fear, absorbed by better bread
The Idealists, fighting for better bread
The Hopeless, dreaming of better bread
The Jackal, gorged on better bread

Break better bread
