i wrote this when an earthquake struck japan and yugoslavia was undergoing
revolution – and i was in as much confusion.
listen to mp3
i’m not a strong man
when i push down
get up again
but the hardest thing
is seeing you smile through
tears of my intent
are you ok?
i did not mean it
i’m sorry
please won’t you stay?
i’d quit betting on me…
here are scars from fights we’ve won
here are scars from nights i’ve run
but head me off at the pass
i’m a rat born into a maze
i don’t know any other way
don’t question the walls
or the end of my days
i can’t see anything but yesterday
the ground will shake beneath my feet
the nations will fall in flames
but cover me up in your promises
and tell me again how you know my name
here are scars from fights we’ve won
here are scars from nights i’ve run
but head me off at the pass
i’ve got so much i want to say to you
but the words all spill out of order
put a hand on my shoulder
You know…
