Forward, Never Straight
Dear Mother: This is no time to complain There is something bigger than the task at hand I've been lost and found in the sky and underground And I can firmly say that you don't understand Dear Samuel: I hope the west has what you wanted When you close your eyes do you still dream of home? I'm sure the timing's right this year for me to finally disappear And stake my claim in warm and foreign ground I'm just waiting for that day to come So that I can go far away Dear Everyone That I've Ever Encountered: I'm sure that you've got all your plans to break the mold Don't hold your breath; callous hearts mean swollen heads And first things swell then they explode! Dear Samuel: Was it really worth it? You're 50,000 miles away from home We give love by the inch but we take it by the mile And we wonder why so many feel alone Will anybody miss you when you're gone? No guarantees, just promises So strike your matches, start your fires Sooner or later, all goes dark We're bound by instinct and desire It's in our eyes and in our hearts. Aus Songtexte Mania
