lyrics

We don’t know how it feels
We don’t know what it means, to have a heart
We look for good time
We cover souls with divine pantomimes

But all looks fine when we enjoy sunshine
One way to go one is not turning back

But I want twice as hard
Until we draw the line
The line is fine
I got down on my knees
Now I’m begging, please!
We are free tonight

We smile like kids
Well, some ones don’t know what it is, to be a man
We’re through a crooked sun
Where boys become men with guns

Everything is true when you don’t have a clue about the world
A gossip note is cool when you don’t see that you are getting old

Cause things fall apart
Like my manic and I
I will desire
Love is what we need
A game we never win
Love won’t belong to life

We gotta roll the dice
We’re gonna lose it all and we won’t mind
We’re heroes for a day
But we’re a bunch of babies
Fools for a lifetime

None of these lines make sense for a useless mind
But that’s what it is, maybe these are our lives

I still want twice as hard
And I will draw the line
All right in time
I get down on my knees
I’m begging, Lord, please
Just let me be!

Flooding our lives
It makes me leave distress
Minutes are distant
And we are out of time
Love is like a knife
I’m running of it in my whole life
