We are sane and powerful,
Able to climb any mountain, fast or slow.
You tough and ready to go,
Lucky for me is that you're so fucking beautiful.
How ever rocky our tread might be,
We always end as you and me.
Conversation let it flow,
Lucky for me is that you're the best at taking it slow.
The truth is that when we're not we,
This heart would rather fade than be.
You told me over and over again that it would have to stop,
That it would have to end.
But I feel as though I have the luck
Of sharing my life with the one I love.
With this pen I do declare,
My allegiance to the earth.
The mind is slow but quick to note,
I understand our sacred birth.
I see it in dirt, in faces, in TV's,
And I see it in those colors in the air.
It sees you too buts underneath away from all celebrity and all glare.
It doesn't want to attract any attention,
Or stir up any fears,
Sedated, numb, and overwhelmed,
I’m wasting away in a puddle of tears.
The truth is that when we're not we,
This heart would rather fade than be.
You told me over and over again that it would have to stop,
That it would have to end.
But I feel as though I have the luck
Of sharing my life with the one I love.
I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again,
That I love you to death and I can't be your friend.
No I can't be your friend.
I hate to see us go away from here.
Global emotion fills the oceans with their lonely tears.
The island is gone, there's no turning back.
Goodbye commission and terrorist attacks.
