Ink on the Map

Verse 1

Tin hats shine under sun

Steel drums roar when the kids have to run

A paper crown is torn in two

Red mud sticking to a mismatched shoe

They build a fence of wire

Feeding the belly of the hungry fire

Pre-Chorus

Broken glass on the pavement

Broken plans for the payment

I wonder if you see the mess

Chorus

Oh Squirtlandia

Why you burning down the playground

Squirtlandia

Nothing left to love on this ground

You draw the lines with heavy ink

You never stop to even think

Squirtlandia

We just want to make a peaceful sound

Verse 2

Grandma hides behind the door

Counting all the ghosts upon the floor

Rich men sit and trade the blame

Everyone is losing in the game

The map is just a scribble

Watching the hope start to drip and trickle

Pre-Chorus

Broken glass on the pavement

Broken plans for the payment

I wonder if you see the mess

Chorus

Oh Squirtlandia

Why you burning down the playground

Squirtlandia

Nothing left to love on this ground

You draw the lines with heavy ink

You never stop to even think

Squirtlandia

We just want to make a peaceful sound

Bridge

Flags don't heal a single scar

Fear can travel way too far

Flags don't heal a single scar

No one remembers who we are

Chorus

Oh Squirtlandia

Why you burning down the playground

Squirtlandia

Nothing left to love on this ground

You draw the lines with heavy ink

You never stop to even think

Squirtlandia

We just want to make a peaceful sound
