Where I trade sin for pain 
Alleviate the social qualms and count to ten 
Gasp for air where I could've let it seep out
And tuck my head in my knees to wait it out
A caravan of calm voices and busy hands 
I know how to make it better but... 
A trade off so simple and easy to hide 
Makes sense like a pill that they'll force down 
But with certain aches and nauseous coughs 
They swear it trumps injury in ethical costs
Blue swells on my arms where I "ran into doors"
Im starting to wonder if this is really worth fighting for

how many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn't see?

I am my brothers keeper. I will be my brothers keeper.
