While I was asleep in my house
A child was killed, I heard it from a friend
A war raged in a distant land
Cost me to linger on a piece of text
Someone died
Not here, never here
There was a fever
There is a failure
Are you a believer?
That someone lied to you
You hold it closer to your chest
There was a meaning for this test
But you forgot and it's gone now
You were controlled somehow
There was a mean time
An invitation of sorts
I remember life
I, I was sick with sorrow
I'd fallen asleep
And dreamt of my sins here
It was your turn
Adamant smile and said, "Thank you"
There was a sickness right in the family
While I shuddered in the cold
Woman hanged for her sins while I craved mine
An old man drowned in this life herd
As I made amends with my fathers
Someone died
Not here, never here
Someone died for looking too far While I was asleep in my house A child was killed, I heard it from a friend A war raged in a distant land Cost me to linger on a piece of text Someone died Not here, never here There was a fever There is a failure Are you a believer? That someone lied to you You hold it closer to your chest There was a meaning for this test But you forgot and it's gone now You were controlled somehow There was a mean time An invitation of sorts I remember life I, I was sick with sorrow I'd fallen asleep And dreamt of my sins here It was your turn Adamant smile and said, "Thank you" There was a sickness right in the family While I shuddered in the cold Woman hanged for her sins while I craved mine An old man drowned in this life herd As I made amends with my fathers Someone died Not here, never here Explain Request ×
