Tell Me What to Do

Intro

Strophe 1

so is that, is that reality?

you’re gone and I stay behind

you promised, everything will be fine I decline, so stay with me

Chor

Tell me what to do

I don’t know it at all

I’ve seen you every day

You made me smile and let pain go away

5 funerals a week,

and that’s not even the peak leading us to an unbearable leak,

their truth stays unchanged silence equals death

so take a deep breath, start screaming

your pain contains meaning

Interlude

from zero to millions

paid by civilians

it was never their debt to pay overnight, they’ve been washed away

Strophe 2

there is no „normal“ without you

so please tell me what I should do

I never signed up for this, I never signed up for this

so please give me a kiss, and pretend everything is ok

let’s pretend there is a next year, and a next month and a next week tell me how I should bare this

I can’t bury you

Tell me what to do

Strophe 3

Shoulder to shoulder

you’ve been our frontline soldiers all the sisters and brothers neighbors and lovers

all of them
