I forgot what my father said

I forgot what he said

I forgot what my mother said

As we lay upon your bed

A city full of flowers

A city full of rain

I got seven days to live my life

Or seven ways to die

I forgot what my brother said

I forgot what he said

I don't regret anything at all

I remember how we wept

On a bridge of violent people

I was small enough to cry

I got seven days to live my life

Or seven ways to die

Hold my face before you

Still my trembling heart

Seven days to live my life

Or seven ways to die

The gods forgot they made me

So I forget them too

I listen to the shadows

I play among their graves

My heart was never broken

My patience never tried

I got seven days to live my life

Or seven ways to die

Seven days to live my life

Or seven ways to die

Seven
