[English]
You probably have heard about me
And today we meet here
But peace
You will never find it in me
Unless it’s in you
You will never find it in me
You’re not in my living room or anywhere else
But there’s another who is
And I am not
I only speak to you from here
He must be
The music you never made
You saw the skin
You believed everything I asked of you
Nothing came from you
Ah! Look at the fire
The lights jumping in the distance
They don’t expect you to go put them out
Never
...
