I've been misplaced in so many ways,
Broken battlegrounds, hiding veils of delicate deceit,
Yet here I breathe,
Teeth still gleam from holy water,
While millions of lambs migrate to the slaughter,
My head in a bag and my hands are bound to my feet,
And voices sing:
"Were we erased like common thieves?
Tossed in a cell to feast with the fleas,
All because we never admitted a word."
What will I see, tonight, in these eyes,
And what will I know when the morning comes?
(What will I know when the morning comes?)
What will I see, tonight, in these eyes,
And what will I know when the morning comes?
(What will I know when the morning comes?)
Must we remind of exchanges existing so long ago?
Would we arrive at agreeable musings?
Sentimental or just confusing,
We lost what we had but we took it back,
Friends in the gutter, enjoy one another,
Just give yourself to the dust and the dirt where you stand.
What will I see, tonight, in these eyes,
And what will I know when the morning comes?
(What will I know when the morning comes?)
What will I see, tonight, in these eyes,
And what will I know when the morning comes?
(What will I know when the morning comes?)
I'm not who you think I am,
And even if I thought you'd known,
I never would have told you so,
And more alarming,
I would have done the very same.
Would have stolen more than your name.
Would have cursed and bought the world on your shoulders.
I was in the wrong place,
At the right time.
And what's the worst I'd see,
By giving myself to the earth below me,
Not knowing how far I'd fall, by casting away the ordinary,
Just how long can I stay in illusions formed here long before me?
And how long can I breathe this stolen breath here underneath?
There's that subtle smile that did me in,
She moves...
An agony reminds where I've been,
She breathes...
"I'd never let this happen again."
Where's your heart?
Mimicking the patriarch...
She's naive...
