Paperchains
Is it even true? And where is it all leading to? My short sight is good at stealing views Believing truths appear as lies like eating fruits I'm so numb, I can't believe the news Stirring [?] reheated soups Counting breaths in 3's and 2's Is this even true? Why do I limp before I've lost a leg? Fear grips my hostage head Death, my fostered friend, lost the end My worn answers get washed likŠµ the socks I've lost again Slow down, oh how I wish therŠµ was time The days fall in high like a water slide As I form my side to hoard the light I often forget to call goodbye I try and store the sights Before I know the roses, it's autumn time But I saw you cry Yeah, I caught a glance Do I really need answers or an open hand? Do I need a Zeus or a broken man? These days, my mind steers like a loaded van Taking garden shears to holy lands SongtexteBut inside my trojan plans, do I know who I am? Reflections, strength and as darkness grows And too often in my party clothes, it hardly shows But as my imaginary friends start to go I part the boat long enough to become the only one my father knows Please calm the ghosts I see them all inside the glass I close my eyes like it's the last A spearhead in my side as I fight the past Sinking in sodden and clovered fields Dying under horses and roman shields I can see this moment for how I will, statue still And as the days fold out like paperchains I wait, I wait, I wait in vain To see your gorgeous face again Aus Songtexte Mania
