Brooklyn Songtext
von MALINDA

I said grace over nothing
This morning
Facing the world on empty
Far too full to take in
Anything that could make me happy

A poet in a nine-to-five
Color drying on my palette knife
Salt of the earth dissolving
Into the city life
Reaching for a paradise
Stretching my veins into the sky
Everyone else can learn to fly
Why can′t I?

Aah-aha, I
Aah-aha, I


Words are not my friend
This morning
Down between the lines they went
Abandoning the meaning
The only thing that matters in the end

Apathy is my only plan
Washing my dry and burning hands
Pacing my cage and wondering
If anyone understands
Thinking that I can give advice
From a soul that I don't recognize
Everyone else can live that lie
Why can′t I?

Aah-aha, I
Why can't I?
Aah-aha, I
Why can't I?


I′ll take it all
Stretch me taller
Break me open
Let me fall
Oh, I′ll take it all
Stretch me taller
Break me open
Let me fall

Far too full to take in (oh, I'll take it all, stretch me taller)
The only thing that matters in the end (break me open, let me fall)
Far too full to take in (oh, I′ll take it all, stretch me taller)
The only thing that matters in the end (break me open, let me fall)

A poet in a nine-to-five (oh, I'll take it all) (far too full to take in)
Color drying on my palette knife (stretch me taller)
Salt of the earth dissolving (break me open) (the only thing that matters in the end)
Into the city life (let me fall)
Thinking that I can give advice (oh, I′ll take it all) (far too full to take in)
From a soul that I don't recognize (stretch me taller)
Everyone else can live that lie (break me open) (the only thing that matters in the end)
Why? (let me fall)

A poet in a nine-to-five (oh, I′ll take it all) (far too full to take in)
Color drying on my palette knife (stretch me taller)
Salt of the earth dissolving (break me open) (the only thing that matters in the end)
Into the city life (let me fall)
Thinking that I can give advice (oh, I'll take it all) (far too full to take in)
From a soul that I don't recognize (stretch me taller)
Everyone else can live that lie (break me open) (the only thing that matters in the end)
Why can′t I? (let me fall)

(I′ll take it all) (far too full to take in)
(Stretch me taller)
Aah-aha, I (break me open)
(Let me fall)

Why can't I?
Aah-aha, I
Why can′t I?
