Healing

If you don't heal what hurt you,

You'll bleed on people who didn't cut you.

not a spec of candour lives on my skin
forced to abandon the truth
so this serpent can protect me from sin

you can call me a blue jay
nature's most gifted liars
but if there cannon nets catch me
shot in the head by men in army attire

life is a game of Russian roulette
i spin the cylinder
and await what's next

My chances are ungenerous
but I already knew
that's the tragedy
of a 1938 Jew
This is basically about how some Jews haded to fake their identity to save themselves but there chances were low of getting away with it

Isn’t it funny,
The happiness we pretend to have
Is the very thing
Holding us back from living.
Let me stroke your face,
until dawn,
and, rock to you sleep,
while keeping you warm
This is one place,
where you,
don't have to perform,
Just be you,
until the morning dawn

when my volcano erupts
you will ignite
ashes to ashes
cremated on sighted

when my glacier melts
you will drown
plunge to the depths of my ocean
36,000 feet down
