Achilles Heart |
It was a different world back then |
Though not so long ago |
I thought I understood most men |
And now I just don’t know |
For all that I thought myself smart |
I can’t fix the rupture and break |
In my achilles' heart |
And all the certainties I had |
Here all been washed away |
It seems my world was built on sand |
It vanished in a day |
With all my beliefs torn apart |
And I’m left with now are the shards |
(of) my achilles' heart |
What seemed like dreams are really nightmares |
What seemed like fiction’s really real |
When my brain won’t take in what my eyes say they’ve seen |
Then we’ve surely reached the end |
So although life must soldier on |
A way of living now has gone |
A right to freedom and to be |
Has been denied to you and me |
It’s difficult but we must start |
To undo the damage that’s done |
To our Achilles' heart |
