Take Guilt

Lyrics

Here am I, doubled over Curled up on the ground I'm able to get hurt now And then be safe and sound And here am I, singing From a cosy land The men who stand in my skin Have the upper hand Take a look at my face Take a look at the one beside me Who matters? Here he is, torn asunder Hands over his ears And how my kin are glad for Being born over here But here he is and why not Her and thеm aswell The Travellеr, the immigrant How have I never felt How they look at my face How they look at the one beside me Who matters? Why do I feel nothing? When I am in my home? And I see you, from a land I've learned To call not my own Why don't I feel guilty? And each day less and less? I see you in my nightmares I've never even felt How they look at my name How they look at the one beside me How they look in my face And I can feel their own hate in me Take guilt Take your great-grandfather's hate and taste it It's hard To swallow Take guilt Take your great-grandfather's hate and taste it It's hard To swallow It's hard To swallow Swallow Swallow Here am I, doubled over Curled up on the ground I'm able to get hurt now And then be safe and sound And here am I, singing From a cosy land The men who stand in my skin Have the upper hand
