CERTAIN SOMETHING

they give us fire for water
when black is the new white

goosesteps in the garden
in the middle of the night

tell me
I haven't been living
surviving
but dwelling in fear
if its all about love
then why am I here
been searching and seeking
all these miles and years
and now my brain is leaking
it just looks like tears

keep a certain something off my mind
give me something to occupy my time
keep a certain something off my mind
