i can't breathe

I can't breathe 1990 (sardasht)



I can’t breathe
I’m being smothered
In this dark breeze,
anyway it’s late

To sunrise forthwith
Look at the this earth
Full of crime and filth
Vampires govern us
They’re killing all  dreams

Every thing is ruined
They ignore and freeze

"Don’t cry little kid
Take it easy please
Watch the stars and smile
We die and release"

Devils are not there
A world free of needs
I can’t breathe
Drops are falling
from the bloody teeth
a story of freedom
under broken knees
How it did start
we lost our heels
they erased the rainbow
every one can feel
Colors have no shine
And they are power rings

"don’t cry little kid
take it easy Please
watch the stars and smile
we die and release"

We are prisoners
Between brains and peels
It was all a joke
All rules and all things
We are all alone
With wounded cheeks...

"Don't cry little kid
Take it easy please
Watch the stars and smile
We die and release"
