Oh Damascus i think about you in my sleep
Unsure if i am thinking too deep
Or if i just long
For where i belong
Sweat in my hands, tears in my eyes
The longer i am away from you
The more i despise
But despise whom?
Ill never know
Whom to blame or whom to frame
I'll frame them on my wall
Picture them fall
Or maybe i should just frame
my feelings of pain
Arent those people just dying in vain?
Oh Damascus, i am in pain
Blame and frame all you want but for now
Listen to me proclaim
I saw a child right after his pregnancy now my friends
I was told he is starting nursery
But nursery in another town, another city, another country.
Notice how no more
Will i see of him anymore
Oh damascus i long for you and despair
But you yourself know that i am not there
So why is it my beautiful city...
That you continue to care for me to a point where i just cant bare
being away from you
Oh Damascus wait for me, ill come to you.
Oh Damascus, you know i love you and love what's best for you.
But this is too much for me to bare.
I picture you in my mind
Ill never be there
Not sure if i should cry
Or Sit and wait till i wither and die
I'm not gonna lie, watching you on TV makes me want to die.
Instead
Ill picture your soil of thousands upon thousands years of pride
Its worth more than a million pretty brides
Give me a sign
That you'll be fine
Judgement day, its got a time
Let me see you before i draw the line
The smell of your trees
has caused me to cease
But no please!
I woke up from my dreams
Sealed my eyes shut with despair
Oh damascus
Take me back into your care
Let me care
I'll write a thousand words of gratitude
For such beauty and futility that i cannot spare
But no words can show my despair
Because oh Damascus
I am not there
