WE ARE WHAT WE PROTECT

(LYRICS: TRELLO)

LOSING ALL MY BETS
I’M RESIGNED TO START FROM SCRATCH
I CAN’T SAY A WORD
I WON’T SAY A PRAYER
IF ONLY I COULD MAKE THINGS FAIR

I WATCH YOU SWAY
WHILE YOU TELL ME TO PUT MY FAITH IN THE EVENING SHADE
IT’S EASY TO SAY
BUT I DON’T FEEL WELL IN THE PRESENCE OF FRIENDS

HOW CAN I TRUST IF I JUST DON’T FIND THE STRENGTH?
IF I CAN’T GIVE YOU HOPE
IF I JUST DON’T MAKE A STAND
I’D GIVE MYSELF A CHANCE BUT MY HEART WON’T REST ANYMORE
NOW I’VE FOUND WHO SHARES AND CARES
WE ARE WHAT WE PROTECT
WE ARE WHAT WE PROTECT

WASTED ALL MY BEST DAYS
WAKING IN A MAZE
I LOST CONTROL
I DREAM OF PALE SKIN
BUT I’D RATHER DIE THAN LOSE YOUR NAIVETE

I WANT TO BEHAVE
BUT THE BUGS IN MY MIND WILL YELL OBSCENITIES AT ME
IT’S EASY TO SAY
WHEN YOU’RE NOT AFRAID OF THIS CROWDED PLACE

HOW CAN I TRUST IF I JUST DON’T FIND THE STRENGTH?
IF I CAN’T GIVE YOU HOPE
IF I JUST DON’T MAKE A STAND
I’D GIVE MYSELF A CHANCE BUT MY HEART WON’T REST ANYMORE
IT’S A BATTLE EVERYDAY
WE ARE WHAT WE PROTECT

HOW COME DID I THINK THAT MY HEART WAS GIVING UP ON YOU AND LOSING STEAM?
HOW COME DID I SAY THAT MY DESTINY WAS RESOLVED TO NOT GIVE A DAMN?
HOW COME DID I GRACE ALL MY DISINGENUOUS THOUGHTS WITH HER PERFUMED ASH?
HOW COME DID I WAIT FOR SO LONG?
HOW COULD I GO ALONG?

AND HOW CAN I TRUST IF I JUST DON’T FIND THE STRENGTH?
IF I CAN’T GIVE YOU HOPE
IF I JUST DON’T MAKE A STAND
I’D GIVE MYSELF A CHANCE BUT MY HEART WON’T REST ANYMORE
NOW I’VE FOUND WHO SHARES AND CARES
I FEEL AT HOME AGAIN

WHAT IF I CAN’T FIND THE STRENGTH
AND I CAN’T GIVE YOU HOPE?
THOUGH I FINALLY MADE A STAND
I GAVE MYSELF A CHANCE BUT MY HEART WON’T REST ANYMORE
IN THE END IT’S SAFE TO SAY
WE ARE WHAT WE PROTECT
WE ARE WHAT WE PROTECT
WE ARE WHAT WE PROTECT
WE ARE WHAT WE PROTECT


I’LL HURT YOU IF YOU STAY 

(LYRICS: TRELLO)

INSIDE IT’S BREEDING
I AM AN OLD SOUL
YOU TAKE ME AND LEAD ME
TO THE TRAUMAS OF YOUR CHOICE
WE’RE FLAPPING NOW LIKE BUTTERFLIES
TO THE TREACHERY OF YOUR VOICE
I MUFFLE MY RAGE
SO YOU CAN DIGEST MY WORDS

AND IF DEATH COMES FOR ME
(WHEN WILL IT END?)
IF MY LOVE CAN’T ROAM FREE
(WHAT PRIZE WILL I GET?)
AND IF DEATH BECOMES ME
(IS THIS THE END?)
MANY PLACES TO BE
AND LOOK WHERE I AM

OUTSIDE THIS ROOM
OUTSIDE THIS ROOM, BABY
WE ARE BOTH DOOMED
AND SO IS OUR LOVE

OUTSIDE THIS ROOM
OUTSIDE THIS ROOM, BABY
YOU’LL FIND YOUR WAY
AND I’LL HURT YOU IF YOU STAY

SOMETIME I’LL BE THERE
SHOWING YOU THE DOOR
I’LL TAKE YOU AND LEAD YOU
TO THE CORNER OF MY CHOICE
THE PLEASURE OF MAKING YOU CRY
THAT I ALWAYS KEPT IN STORE
MIRAGE OF HUMANITY
BUT NOW I’M COMING TO THE FORE

AND IF DEATH COMES FOR ME
(WHEN WILL IT END?)
IF MY LOVE CAN’T ROAM FREE
(WHAT PRIZE WILL I GET?)
AND IF DEATH BECOMES ME
(IS THIS THE END?)
MANY PLACES TO BE
AND LOOK WHERE I AM

OUTSIDE THIS ROOM
OUTSIDE THIS ROOM, BABY
WE ARE BOTH DOOMED
AND SO IS OUR LOVE

OUTSIDE THIS ROOM
OUTSIDE THIS ROOM, BABY
YOU’LL FIND YOUR WAY
AND I’LL HURT YOU IF YOU STAY

IS IT MEAN TO WANT TO HURT YOU?
IS IT MEAN TO WANT TO HURT YOU?
IS IT MEAN TO WANT TO HURT YOU?
IS IT MEAN, MY LOVE?
