Lyrics by Kamyar Arsani:
Legal citizen bending down at the station
We don’t care we declare
His shadow longer than his hope
We don’t care, we have declared
And all the pink tiles will speak to us one day when we lay with them face to face
Piece by piece, we all will make peace
And we send the boys, down the railroads throwing stones,
At in incoming strangers
Throwing stones at incoming strangers
Watch out!
They’re coming!
Fences built wider than imagination
more violent than screeching of keys against stations that kept us apart I know you were there when they tore us apart
Bloodier than shooting in a synagogue, or a church, or a school, or it could be any place.
I know my faith in human, and their guns, we don’t care we have declared
It’s a shattering feeling that I have inside it’s like
Its hundred degrees below love,
Every minute of my time
It's hundred degrees below love every minute of my time
Magnets losing intensity, transforming into shapes that numbness alludes when you’re shut down inside.
I know you all like me are shut down inside
I imagine it to be the shape of a diamond with sharp edges piercing through clouds of our judgments, bleeding through your cosmic senses that we all are fundamentally different
All desires shall be reached before perception. All desires shall be preached through invasion
World is smaller than you think we are bigger than we seem
said the man in charge
We are smaller than we think world is bigger than it seems
said the man in charge
