I think I should go now
I must leave before my red eyes match the sunrise
No more coffee will put off today
I’ve stood too long
In the shadow of a doubt
I need some sun
It seems that time returns to me once more
But I have less now than before
And when I feel my world falling down
I think of you
I think of you
And when I feel I can breath no more
you speak to me
you speak to me
When the brightest star
Smiled as it squared shoulders with the night
You lit the glowing embers of my own light
Do you know
Your words could drag the moon down from the sky
Seduce my frozen heart with your war cry
You really made me listen for my voice
And I heard millions
And when I feel my world falling down
I think of you
I think of you
And when I feel I can breath no more
you speak to me
you speak to me
When you fell
I saw your visionary thoughts befriend your blood
Crimson lovers drowning in the same flood
I miss the beauty of your young black skin
I thought that freedom
Can only be defined as endless choice
And I only listened to the logic of the loudest voice
But this world
Will be shaken by a whisper…
I must leave before my red eyes match the sunrise
No more coffee will put off today
In the shadow of a doubt
I need some sun
It seems that time returns to me once more
But I have less now than before
I think of you
I think of you
you speak to me
you speak to me
Smiled as it squared shoulders with the night
You lit the glowing embers of my own light
Your words could drag the moon down from the sky
Seduce my frozen heart with your war cry
You really made me listen for my voice
And I heard millions
I think of you
I think of you
you speak to me
you speak to me
I saw your visionary thoughts befriend your blood
Crimson lovers drowning in the same flood
I miss the beauty of your young black skin
Can only be defined as endless choice
And I only listened to the logic of the loudest voice

this song is so beautiful, im surprised no one has commented on it yet. some of the lyrics are cliche, but the last lines-- "I thought that freedom Can only be defined as endless choice/ And I only listened to the logic of the loudest voice" is such a powerful lyric. its as though we have endless choices, but we never seize them because we're caught in the most powerful, but the most true. lovely lovely.
*but NOT the most true. sorry typo
i also liked that part.. i think it means, we think freedom is having endless choices but in the end.. we do not really explore these choices and just go with the most likely one, and that's what we always pick.
we do not explore these choices or, we dont get the chance to. because we base our decisions on what we think other people find acceptable..or likely.
