Can't stay
Ritam Nereda · Other Songs - Ritam Nereda
always lose again
all my fear, all my pain
strike me 'till the end
Barbed wire scare my dreams
cold, sweat and tears
building walls of hate
for hundred million years
Ref.
I can't stay, must move away
it's hard to believe them
when I check tomorrow
then I will say
it's time to resistance
Day by day, growing hate
spreading like desease
promise heaven, selling hell
puttin' on your knees
Ref. 2x
