Powerful People's Anthem

by Madelleine Müller

Strange worlds of tears open at the seams
This carnival of lies I’ve been building in my dreams

The eyes I dipped in black the drops melting on my cheek
The stitches in my brain they hold on tight to what is left

Mama they took my guns away from me today
I cannot stay
Leave me in pain it fuels my verbal grenades

I see a trickle on your face, my dear, do you want me to wipe it clean?
Your carnival will never come true only the demons of your dreams

Mama they took my guns away from me today
I cannot stay
Leave me in pain it fuels my verbal grenades
Leave me in pain it fuels my verbal grenades
Leave me in pain it fuels my verbal grenades

Did you see me set fire to the forest again?
Did you see me when my skin was sorest and in pain?
Did you see me put on my plastic heart waiting for the rain to wash me clean?
The war is over
My clown suit is waiting downstairs

Mama they took my guns away from me today
I cannot stay
Leave me in pain it fuels my verbal grenades
Leave me in pain it fuels my verbal grenades
Leave me in pain it fuels my verbal grenades
Leave me in pain it fuels my verbal grenades
