Mei Mei Lyrics - Singles - Wild Strawberries

Mama I don't want to run away 

You know that I could never stay 

If this letter never reaches home 

I wave goodbye to you and mei mei 

You know the placards and the common way 

You wore the hat that never fades 

You know the hatred for the grave 

Of everything you lost that day 

The rice grows faster than the hands can cut it down 

I can see it rising in the wind 

Withered palaces will never stop the rain from falling 

In between the cracks until the cracks turn into veins 

Flowing through another reign 

Don't fear the truth that holds the world away 

Don't fly the flag that never waves 

I saw a soldier with his gun 

Listening to the v.o.a. 

I curse the poster in the people's way 

I curse the bottle to its grave 

And even so I know this rage 

Connects me with the ones I hate 

Time will lay its peonies upon your bed 

Fate will hold you helpless in its net 

And like a quickly fading song 

How soon the world forgets
