lyrics

Tearin’ At The Heart Of Me

I see your eyes as you look through me
A cipher vanished in the air
You stare me up and down this evening
On my neck I count a thousand hairs

It’s tearin’ at the heart of me

The fog, the chill, the senseless moments
I come here to make peace, my friend
You and I are on a chessboard
Here we go (a)round again

It’s tearin’ at the heart of me
It’s falling over you and me
We can’t pretend that we don’t see
It’s tearin’ at the heart of me

Criminals are profiteering
A never-ending war of fear
They fuck the people volunteering
They fuck the people over there

No call for sacrifice
Just keep driving through the night
No people’s oversight
No, no .. none at all

Lying on the streets of Baghdad
Lying under bloody cloth
Lying under flags forgotten
Lying under oath to all
