Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here in the wreckage
The winter is hard
I sleep in the same clothes
That I drag through the mud
[Verse 2]
And if you ask me
Nothing's changed
There's nowhere else I can go
So I stay
[Verse 3]
We're writhing rats, we make beds in the straw
And then we build houses, paint our names on the door
[Verse 4]
And if you ask me again
Is this life?
I don't see I have a choice, but I still smile
Bide my time
[Verse 5]
I, who have no roots and nowhere to go
And as for the future, well, I really don't know
But if you ask me, I will nod
But if you ask me
[Verse 6]
Here I am
Here I am
[Verse 7]
My dear wife
And my children of God
The borders were already drawn for us
Hold on to life
Heal it's wretched return
Search for a place you can breathe again
It's not a crime
[Verse 8]
I'd love to see you again
Sometime soon
But will you give back to me now
What you stole?
