To Love Before
What to do about the earthThat doesn’t turnLet Hell be closed upI’m not going down thereFor whom is this seaThat doesn’t rockAnd worse, is fleeting [I’m not certain about this line]I don’t stay there
I was wonderingIf you would understandBut understand what?Words don’t convey it
refrain
I will always go where it’s calmI will always go where it’s straightWhere my honesty disarmsWhat you will never understandI’ve learned through its tearsThat we have to love it better than thatThat lies are like knivesThat slice and I don’t cut myself with them
I will always go where it’s calmI will always go where it’s straightWhere infinity will be my flameAnd you will never see itIt wasn’t youI didn’t knowI don’t blame youAny more than I blame myself
What to do about our warsI will not fall in themCheckmate yesterdayI don’t go back to itTo learn and to keep quietAnd to break because of it sometimesTo breathe in airTo breathe out you
I was wonderingIf you heard meBut hear what?Words don’t convey it
