Saw you crying on the roof
Begging for some proof
Cause you can’t live on
without me.
But if you’d try to speak
To the ones in need
Then you would see
what’s behind me.
Oh, but I cannot be my brother’s keeper, he’d ruin me.
If that’s the truth, then I’ll be damned for then you’d create a hellish land
No!
Brother in the gutter
Paper cup ‘n’ mother
Begging on their knees:
Father help us, please!
Do you deny from them
What you demand yourself
That they’d go on
without me?
No, that’s not what I meant; I need these walls, so I can heal them.
I need to keep them away from my lonely treasured heart, it’s the only one I’ve got, and it’s not for giving.
Go!
You say I’m demanding
But it’s you there standing
Seeking shelter from your own misgivings.
Anger and hate
A shameful trace
You better go on
without me
