Duetting Solo

When the snow melted away

Yet my world frozen and gray

You brought me the seeds

And buried them deep in me

(Holy land with her we stand)

The love we teach, violence we preach

(Knives in hand, we're innocent lambs)

Don't you see

All of these pretences are petty ironies

They say

You'll never be erased

You still live inside me, inside me

(Whose live are you offering?)

Paint me red, oh paint me red

(Whose live are you offering?)

My hands are red, my heart is black

(Lalalalala ...)

I cried

I screamed

I slept

I woke up mad

Counting blessings we could have

I tried to defy the rules dividing us

In blood we trust

You're gone like the wind

Chasing you, I breathed in deep

Swallowing the dust that used to be the part of you

Duetting solo to your lonely vaguely beautiful melody
