I think I could have not been there
when they sentenced me to death
for having coffee on that day
and three more shots than it should take.
ย
it might well be that it was just,
to miss the salt on parted lips,
to lose the warmth of afternoons
and the water on my hips.
I have fought the only fight,
to stare the sun into the eye
and still the hope of one more stare
makes the torture worth my while
and now you're looking in my eyes
coming from the others' side,
offering to pray for me
cause strangers cannot really see
cause strangers cannot really see
ย
cause strangers cannot really see
ย
don't waste your tasteless breath on me
you're guilty as one can ever be
what difference would it really make
if I killed you or you killed me?
don't waste your tasteless breath on me
you're guilty as one can ever be
what difference would it really make
if I killed you or you killed me?
you mention death to scare me back
but it's the proof that i've been right
because i'm sure that i'm alive,
that i've been true while you all lied.
and in the shimmer of the stars
I thought of mother one more time,
how she had lived her life anew
when greeting death had set her free.
ย
don't waste your breath on me
you're guilty as one can be
if I killed you or you killed me
what difference would it make?
ย
calm in my indifference
I had one more wish
I had one more will
I want the crowd to howl at me
a stranger that could never lie, and then die
