DRAW THE LINE

it’s so nice when we say we accept another skin
it’s so nice when we say we defend diversity
it’s so brave to get along behind the wire
that makes our prejudice
it’s so bold to speak about the other’s cold
sitting by the fire
there’s a tyrant living under my skin
there’s a ruler weaving behind your smile
you’ve got yours, I got mine, keep an eye
are you ready to draw the line?
it’s so nice proclaiming we accept another truth
it’s so nice when we say all the reds are turning blue
it’s so brave to get along behind the wire
that makes our prejudice
it’s so bold to speak about the other’s cold
sitting by the fire
there’s a tyrant living under my skin
there’s a ruler weaving behind your smile
you’ve got yours, I got mine, keep an eye
are you ready to draw the line?
there’s a tyrant living under my skin
there’s a ruler weaving behind your smile
you’ve got yours, I got mine, keep an eye
are you ready to draw the line?
are you ready to draw the line?
are you ready to draw the line?
I just need you as you need me
if you want me as I want you

DEAD KISSES

the glace inside your world
you’re weird inside your space
I came to save your smile
I know that it’s too late
where did I go wrong
when I tried to stay?
I came with light
I found haze
the walls around your room
are waning in my head
I went wrong, I went wrong
when I came
the silence in your words
the ghost inside your steps
the poems from your past
were riddles of my pain
now that I’m gone
so far away
you want me back
but I can’t stay
the walls around your room
I can’t forget
am I wrong? am I wrong?
still I feel wrong
I was wrong...when I ran away

MAKE ME SMILE
04:30
|

it is not the better day to feel alright
all the voices that I hear hurt deep inside
it is not the better spring to grow a smile
all the pain I feel inside is made of fire
...made of fire
(repeat)
please don’t leave me standing lonely
on the wire
I just need some comfort
that would make me smile
...you can come...
make me smile
make me smile
you can count on me
I will count and you...
you can follow me
and feel alright
through the snow, and the rain
and the sun when you’re falling
you can follow me
I will follow you
and feel alright
through the snow, and the rain
and the sun when I’m falling
and feel alright
and you know
you can make me smile again

SO SORRY
04:10
|
|

|
I never felt the blood inside my veins
so slow, so stained, so dark
I never felt my heart so close to fade
and stop and die forever more
I never felt my life without the air
that brings your name into my lungs
I never felt the earth beneath my feet
begin to crumble and fall
I’m so sorry
for I never meant to hurt you
I’m so sorry
for I’m learning how to love
I’m so sorry
for all respect I pay you
I’m so sorry
for I can’t live without you anymore

PRESIDENT

when I hear what you say
I would cut off your voice
when I see what you’ve done
I would give you no choice
I would send you there
where the mothers cry
with the widows you’ve made
with your guns and your lies
when I see you destroy
I would burn down your smile
with the rapes you permit
with your stars and your crimes
I would send you there
where the young children die
while you write freedom words
with the blood in your hands
wish you soon leave this world
wish you soon leave this world
...in the name of god
...in the name of god
wish you soon leave this world
wish you soon leave this world
...in the name of god
...in the name of god

YOUR SHAME
04:03
|
|
||

I could fly real, slow
I could die and feel low
I am trying to stay
I am breathing for the last time
...feel nothing
I am feeling too weak
I am getting to the dead end mile
I don’t want your shame, I fall
just stay far or my fears will remain
I could cry and feel small
I could die and feel cold
I’m beginning to fade
I am dreaming of a better place
you better realize
now it’s getting too late
and the silence is the only word to say
I don’t want your shame
and please don’t blind your eyes
and feel...I will shine

WINTER ASHES
03:45

|

last time I saw you was between
the winter ashes
last time I held you near
you made me cry
last time I found you was between
the winter ashes
last time I felt you breathe
you made me die
and I know him...
and I know him...
would you say I’m ready
to forget your skin?
would you say I’m ready
to embrace your sin?
would you say I’m ready
to depend on me?
would you say I’m ready
for a smile?

LOVE IS
03:43

we are candles in the rain
love is shear
we are crowds without a name
you have walls you can defend
love is fear
I have dreams you can’t pretend
and I say mmmmmmm
we make love inside the pain
love is near
we must walk to fall again
and I say mmmmmmm
we can get the midnight train
that will take us nowhere
I will love you ‘til the end
mmmmmmm
we can bring the light
we can feel the rain
we can fight the fear
like we have always done
we can bring the night
we can heal the pain
we can save the love
until the end of time
that’s love is

SARAJEVO
05:51
|
|
||
|
all the memories have been saved
in a broken envelope
there’s a garden with a grave without a name
all the songs she used to sing with him
all the games he used to play with her
disappeared without a trace covered by a foolish hate
do you see them yearn? do you hear them weep?
do you see them drown in the memories?
can you see them wait for a star to gleam
through the dust, and pain and ruins of Sarajevo?
oh, oh, oh
all the memories have been slaved
in the barrel of a gun
there’s a scar and not a smile in every face
all the kisses that she gave to him
all the dreaming that he built for her
disappeared without a trace buried by a foolish hate
do you see them yearn? do you hear them weep?
do you see them drown in the memories?
can you see them wait for a star to gleam
through the dust, and pain and ruins of Sarajevo?
oh, oh, oh
