the good in me is dead (2014) - martyn joseph lyrics
[verse 1]
i sit at the border, this blanket’s my cover
i must wait for my sister, i wait for my mother
and the rain it is falling, but i do not feel it
i cannot feel nothing now any more
[chorus]
push that fox news lens in my face again, sir
i swear i’ll come there and i’ll break your head
’cause the good in me is dead
[verse 2]
in the hills of prestina, my family worked the land
and the images flow through my ticking mind
and they fall like grains of sand
a month ago they took my father, the village was asleep
they put a russian gun to his temple
and they took him in a land rover jeep
didn’t get his breakfast
[chorus]
so if this is all that’s left now then
there’s just nothing to be said
and the good in me is dead
[verse 3]
and my brother’s in those hills, i saw him lying there
and his eyes will never see me now and my fingers touched his hair
i just kissed that dirty hair, i held on to that filthy hair
and last night your bombs they came raining, i swear i saw his face
he came running across the open fields to me in a safe and a peaceful place
[chorus]
i woke shaking and thinking
about love that’s in this world
and if there is no bigger picture, sir
this is all obscene, it’s just absurd
so you could pass me the revolver there
you could pass me every book i’ve read
you could pass me fresh cut flowers, sir
just don’t ask me what i dread
that the good in me—
[verse 1]
i sit at the border, this blanket’s my cover
i must wait for my sister, i wait for my mother
i must look for my mother
i must wait for my mother
i must look for my mother
