Leave You Behind -

Inside of these walls I’ve built a good life

They said to get out but they’re wasting their time

We won’t make it through if we stay here

But we’ve got everything that we hold dear

My grandmother told me to always keep smiling

To practice for the day when my sister stopped crying

I’ve seen it time and time again

You’re a fool to think you’re safe from them

But I’m not afraid of their airborne disaster

If it doesn’t kill me it can call me its master

I’ve lived through hell for my own kind

There’s no way, there’s no way

There’s no way I could leave you behind

They can put up their fences and call us inhuman

Force us to abandon our lives as we knew them

But they can’t take us anywhere

We’ve got everything we love right here

I saw how my father took care of my sister

Mathilda’s been gone for 2 years and I miss her

But now I have to miss him too

I swear to god I’ll live to honor you

I’m not afraid of their airborne disaster

We’ve got all we need between the nails and the plaster

I’ve lived through hell for my own kind

There’s no way, there’s no way

There’s no way I could leave you behind

And I pray for the good lord to fix this

And put me to sleep

Go to sleep and make the silence, my mistress

Cause it won’t ever leave my mind

Silent screams and the look in your eyes

Smell of snow while your hand clung to mine

Your last breath when they took you away and I left you behind

But I’m not afraid of their airborne disaster

If it doesn’t kill me it can call me its master

I’ve lived through hell for my own kind

There’s no way, there’s no way

There’s no way I could leave you…

And I’m not afraid of their airborne disaster

We’ve got all we need between the nails and the plaster

I’ve lived through hell for my own kind

There’s no way, there’s no way

There’s no way I could leave you behind
