Stephan Eicher Lyrics
"Bend And Break"

There are no more words left to tell you how I feel
No longer, no more, I can't go on
This light is too strong and so unreal
I fell down, touched the ground, can't you see me ?
I'm crawling through the dust, here they come to catch me
Like every night, I am unarmed and not prepared to fight

But tell me, why does it better bend
Then finally break, finally break ?

I wish I could turn out my memories like you turned out the lights
I should hate you for what you did to me
But maybe I sing a prayer for you tonight
I look back to what we had and what we left
There's some gold, there's some rain and there's always fear
Two hands to fill, so we grabbed what we could
Between a smile and a tear

But tell me, why does it better bend
Then finally break, finally break ?
