Nevermind

The war was lost

The treaty signed

I was not caught

I crossed the lineI was not caught

Though many tried

I live among you

Well disguisedI had to leave

My life behind

I dug some graves

You'll never findThe story's told

With facts and lies

I have a name

But nevermindNevermind

Nevermind

The war was lost

The treaty signedThere's truth that lives

And truth that dies

I don't know which

So nevermindYour victory

Was so complete

Some among you

Thought to keepA record of

Our little lives

The clothes we wore

Our spoons, our knivesThe games of luck

Our soldiers played

The stones we cut

The songs we madeOur law of peace

Which understands

A husband leads

A wife commandsAnd all of this

Expressions of

The sweet indifference

Some call loveThe high indifference

Some call fate

But we had names

More intimateNames so deep and

Names so true

They're blood to me

They're dust to youThere is no need

That this survive

There's truth that lives

And truth that diesNevermind

Nevermind

I live the life

I left behindThere's truth that lives

And truth that dies

I don't know which

So nevermindI could not kill

The way you kill

I could not hate

I tried I failedYou turned me in

At least you tried

You side with them

Whom you despiseThis was your heart

This swarm of flies

This was once your mouth

This bowl of liesYou serve them well

I'm not surprised

You're of their kin

You're of their kindNevermind

Nevermind

I had to leave my life behind

The story's told

With facts and lies

You own the world

So nevermindNevermind

Nevermind

I live the life

I left behindI live it full

I live it wide

Through layers of time

You can't divideMy woman's here

My children too

Their graves are safe

From ghosts like youIn places deep

With roots entwined

I live the life I left behindThe war was lost

The treaty signed

I was not caught

I crossed the lineI was not caught

Though many tried

I live among you

Well disguised
