And the vase was empty when you came back home The windows closed enough to conceal the hole In the streets there's plenty of noise but no song They're all strangers and you've got no mother tongue
Through those towns we're walking building a new fence Watching dancers below washing out the tense Through those stories that built lies above our head We saw nothing We saw bodies without names
These wars are made for more than one No echoes No more I'm running away, I'm running slow, the longer I stay, further I go
There's a war I saw it, but I couldn't pay Cause I don't know my name what's the role I play And the flowers' perfume smells like yesterday And the lovers run to where they'd like to stay
