Morning of mourning by Torn Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sitting on the edge of the cliff, destiny pushing me
Nobody pulling me, they call me a lunatic
Forbidden attractor, death and I, we are one unit
Screaming for help, people left with a feeling of impunity
Quick to cancel every plan to commit suicide
Leaps of faith brought me here, no external advice
The vessel is empty and broken, the devil has spoken
Who would I be without dreams in the realm of the awoken
This morning I'm mourning, I don't know who I'm talking to
My brother gone, all I got left is the memory lane that I'm constantly walking through
Crawling in the dark place that others call my house
The void is calling me and I don't know what I'm supposed to do now
[Interlude]
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
[Verse 2]
The truth is out there
We could find it but we don't care
Know there are treasures just don't know where
They got me locked in heaven's crosshair
MLK shot at the balcony
We're all blinded without a little blasphemy
Everyday grinding, new wave alchemists
Having fun means getting punished with police brutality
And I wish things were different
I wish people wouldn't act just for their own selfish interests
This morning I'm mourning, society is ignorant
All attempts at rebuilding have been largely insignificant
For the solution isn't close
Forging the bridge 'till I'm finally home
The night will reveal all the secrets, start preparing your dome
This morning I'm mourning 'cause all hope is gone
Sitting on the edge of the cliff, destiny pushing me
Nobody pulling me, they call me a lunatic
Forbidden attractor, death and I, we are one unit
Screaming for help, people left with a feeling of impunity
Quick to cancel every plan to commit suicide
Leaps of faith brought me here, no external advice
The vessel is empty and broken, the devil has spoken
Who would I be without dreams in the realm of the awoken
This morning I'm mourning, I don't know who I'm talking to
My brother gone, all I got left is the memory lane that I'm constantly walking through
Crawling in the dark place that others call my house
The void is calling me and I don't know what I'm supposed to do now
[Interlude]
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
