Swarm

Did they open fire
Did they greet you with open arms
When you touched down?
Did you question who we are?
Peace keepers or prison guards?
Your footprints leave ugly scars
Did you pass the test
Did you question who we are?
Last call, not talking drinks
I’m talking about your life
You went so far away
Did you ever think it would be this long?
You watch some friends go home
Wrapped up in what they held high
Your intentions may be good
But I bet part of you
Feels the same way I do
Retire inside your swarm
Or run away from the harm
Now you’ve seen it
Do you question what you are?
Peace keeper or prison guard?
Away from home and still so far
Are you like the rest
Now knowing who we are?
