The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner - page 35
We sat in silence, pondering this. I mostly thought about how much I didn't know. And why hadn't I worried about everything I didn't know before now? It was like talking to Diego had cleared my head. For the first time in three months, blood was not the main thing in there.

Oh

We were born in the desert
We were reared in a cave
We conquered in the sun
But we lived in the shade
Yeah, baby, we were savage
We existed to kill
Our history is damaged
At least it was a thrill

But now we can see
Now that our vision is strong
We don't have to admit we were wrong
Now we can see
But the images don't stick
Our enemies lay dead on the ground
And still we kick

Oh

Now we can see the warnings and the signs
Reading between the lines like writing on the wall
Now we can see
What do we need?
We should need nothing, nothing at all

We were born on an island
We grew out of the sand
Never saw another creature
Never knew another man
Yeah, baby, we were nothing
We existed for less
Our present was empty
Our history a mess

But now we can see
Now we do as we please
Now we do away with our disease
Now we can see
Now the image sticks
We still need the medicine quick
We still take the pill
But only for the fix

Now we can see
The warnings and the signs
Reading between the lines like writing on the wall
Now we can see
What do we need?
We should need nothing, nothing at all

Oh

Yeah, now we can see
