Greenland

that was my cup that you smashed

my yesterday drained away

admit that you wouldn't like

to live inside me today

great expectations we had

what hopes burned in our eyes

but your sun illuminates

the dead pan, where our dream fries

the rosy clouds rush away,

replaced with a growing rage

the hand of promise takes the pen

and writes nothing, on every page

why do they all stare at me

as if i came from the moon ?

i'll sing to myself 'it'll be alright',

a foolish song, without a tune

i see no land

i see no end

there's no way out or in

frustration fans

the burning bands

i want my home again

you best hang on to your crash

here let me help with the sack

our matchmaking went badly wrong

i'd ask for my money back

you'll compromise me to death,

i'll bow and bleat like a sheep

so narrow minded is the bed

we lay in, but never sleep

warm welcome for the foreigners

an arsonists bouquet of flames

i know it's not a love match,

but please try to play a friendly game

come let's gather up the stars

we'll share the gems, we'll share the task

i'd let you drink from all my dreams

and so much more, if you'd just ask

he is not a beast of burden

animal to work your farm

don't hang him up, to bleed him dry

don't snap his back or twist his arm

you know that i'm your mirror self

and just like you i cry, i break

so if hell's kitchen we must work

together, is how we'll bake

i see no land

i see no end

there's no way out or in

frustration fans

the burning bands

i feel bought and used, then binned

i ask the way out from the faces

disguised by masks of ice

but no one, no one lends a hand

i need respect to keep me living not a politician's porridge

i feel alone and robbed who stole my land?

that was my cup that you smashed

my yesterday drained away

give me a crumb of your tomorrow, give me a home

give today give me a home where i can lay
