Feeling like you shouldn't mess
With the timing
Feeling like you're dead when the night comes
Feeling like you shouldn't negotiate
Feeling like you're drowning too often
Feeling like you can't touch the bottom
Wouldn't it be wise to just cry for help?
You suffer with sophistication
Tell it like you live in a nightmare
You dream of liberation
You love your preoccupation
Looking like you live in a daydream
You see with your soft demeanour
Settle, cease and surrender
It's been a long time since you spoke up
Or revealed where you hurt
You feel with an extra feeling
Sensitive to the meaning
It's been a long time since you cried out
Feeling like you shouldn't mess
With the timing
Feeling like you're dead when the night comes
Feeling like you shouldn't negotiate
Feeling like you're drowning too often
Feeling like you can't touch the bottom
Wouldn't it be wise to just cry for help?
You see with your soft demeanour
Settle, cease and surrender
It's been a long time since you spoke up
Or revealed where you hurt
You feel with an extra feeling
Sensitive to the meaning
It's been a long time since you cried out
Non cโรจ dissolutezza peggiore del pensare.

โPower doesnโt have to show off. Power is confident, self-assuring, self-starting and self-stopping, self-warming and self-justifying. When you have it, you know it.โ
