In the bed, I embrace your absence
when the light is fading out
when breathe slows down and the last look slips away
i’ve met your name inside every silence
every single second tells me about you
trust me – i still burn
trust me – i still can feel you
trust me – i still call you
every day still bites
trust me – it’s still here
trust me – it’s still screaming
trust me – i still love you
feel it – it’s still burning
feel it – it’s still wanting you
feel it – it still loves you
burns burns
feel it – it’s still screaming
feel it – it’s still scratching
bites hurts tonight it wants you
i’ve hidden your name behind a thousand mirrors
to keep you away, away, away, safe from me
you know, nobody would condemn me if i’d steal you and make you mine
never, media would never give us a prime time - how boring
onu will not condemn me no talk show would host you
dreams of tv shows and jet set bye bye not even on Sky
makes my blood pitch black makes me evil
and wants you here close, close, closer, tied up to me
////
it’s a small song
about love and resistance
of those who love and fight
and make the difference
it’s just a small song
a faraway hug
a tiny star into this dark sky
that might be your sextant
it’s only a small song
in a world so big
so you’re not feeling lonely
to know you’re important
two lines, four notes
a memory, very little things
to warm you up for just a second
and to be your sextant
