lyrics

AM I NOT SPEAKING ENGLISH?

Our walls have collapsed
With the weight of darkness
Every brick carved out of red mist
Everything from our mouths is heartless
And we cling to dirt like the trees

You used to be a good human
What happened?
Of course, you need a soul, but soul alone does not a human make
You need a heart, morals and lessons
Learned from your mistakes

And then we go on pretending like this didn’t happen again

Am I not speaking English?
I guess you’ll never understand
I’m unable to speak your language
Not that you'll ever hear us with lungs made of sand

You used to be a good friend
What happened?
I try to shut my eyes and sleep in a corner
But we can’t go on pretending it won’t happen again

Am I not speaking English?
I guess you’ll never understand
We’re unable to speak your language
Not that you'll ever hear us with your lungs made of sand

We’ll never reach the horizon
For the fear we’ll fall off the edge

We can’t go on pretending this didn't happen again.

Am I not speaking English?
I guess you’ll never understand
I’m unable to speak your language
Not that you'll ever hear us with your lungs full of sand
