How long it could take?



Though it is never good enough I wonder how long it could take.
Maybe vulnerable like this
I can blame the whole world for this war
as if I understood all this.

I would love someone seducing me for a hug. Just dancing step by step
I would love someone seducing me for a hug. Just dancing step by step

Maybe vulnerable like this
I can blame the whole world for this war
as if I understand all this.
On the border every life
seems lost in the same warfare.
Always the same warfare.

I would love someone seducing me for a hug. Just dancing step by step
I would love someone seducing me for a hug. Just dancing step by step

I don’t dare to pick a side
my little consumers argument is worthless.
To wish
To find the answer
To wish to find the answer
but I don't expect to learn it.
On the border every life
seems lost in the same warfare.

Forgive me but since the end of the world is coming it looked safe.

So isolated, in quarantine
The end of the world is coming
Every thing is sick
I am just another rolling head

I would love someone seducing me for a hug. Just dancing step by step
I would love someone seducing me for a hug. Just dancing step by step

Though it is never good enough
I wonder how long it could take.
I don’t dare to pick a side
in quarantine
The end of the world is coming.
Forgive me but since the end of the world is coming it looked safe.

I would love someone seducing me for a hug. Just dancing step by step
I would love someone seducing me for a hug. Just dancing step by step
