LYRIC FOR SALE

By Andreea David

Verse 1
Here again, breathing through regrets and fears
In the same dark story with a bloodied heart and a broken mind
How can I ask my heart for happiness when it scolds me for tying its joy to things...
Simple things, objects and expectations that have torn me apart again and again.

Chorus
And I pulled my heart out with my fists from the depths of my ocean and left it in foreign hands,
In which drawers was my mind hidden, I wonder?
When I uprooted what was pure in me and let it turn to dust
I’m in a war, like in Israel
With my heart in chains and my mind locked in the depths
I scream and yell, hoping someone hears me...
But who can hear me, when my voice is lost in the wind, and only the rain of tears washes my wounds

Verse 2
Now there are chains of actions that keep my heart from dancing in the wind
And I waited for the tornado to take away that hurt the most, so I could forget...
And the flames of my heart ask for rain to put them out, for I cannot die before I’m truly born
But I, I light and lose wars every day

Chorus
And I pulled my heart out with my fists from the depths of my ocean and left it in foreign hands
In which drawers was my mind hidden, I wonder?
When I uprooted what was pure in me and let it turn to dust
I’m in a war, like in Israel
With my heart in chains and my mind locked in the depths
I scream and yell, hoping someone hears me...
But who can hear me, when my voice is lost in the wind, and only the rain of tears washes my wounds.
