Rest in Peace

Hey, you in the fussy suit

You with your snobby look and fake Italian shoes

Hey, step out of your loneliness

We are no different from each other but I'm sad to say to the width full of fear

So alone and afraid, surrounded everywhere

How do we know, and do we even care?

It's the dark side of our global home

A sad faded rose

Hey, girl in the fancy dress

You sway your hair around

in style and self-respect

Why do you look the other way?

The staring I can cope with

but ignorance brings nothing else but pain

Oh the shadow and the pain

Watches over me

In this cage, I am captured

Never to be counted for

Just a grey little dot

I, I am here trying

to come up with something

I am reaching out my hands to you

My fingers trying out

some chords in the grand piano

But the melodies slipping away

I've tried to be silent,

and successfully been silenced

And that hasn't got me anywhere

A strong dedication,

love and sweet emotion

You have got me started

I won't ever rest in peace

After all these years

of happiness, joy and sorrow

Everything is clear to me

I know what I want

and I know how to get it

You have got me started

I will never rest in peace
