Rosalia

Stateless

You used to talk about your favorite way of dying
how you'd prefer to simply fall asleep
lately I sit on your bedside and watch you lying
and all that's left you're able to do is breathe

But you're not ready yet to leave this life
your will is strong, your urge to survive
you cling to this world, you cling to this place
never to be stateless again

Fear has been your constant companion on your flight
but it was your bravery that granted our family a life
All wounds you get heal up in the end
yet what remains are scars for evermore

But you're not ready yet to leave this life
your will still strong, you wish to stay alive
you cling to this world, you cling to this place
never to be stateless again

A huge part of my big heart I owe you
and you'll stay in there for evermore

And now you're ready to leave this place
your will is gone, your mind is in a haze
you let go of this world, you let go of it all
and we last never stateless no more
