What do they even know about violence
squeezed between a couple marriages where those who love have got to pay and those who don't just think it over
What do they even know about the Sphynx
I saw it at eight with you laughing and laughing but I've been told
That sometimes laughing is like faking
You used to put on your Arabic songs in the car
sang out of tune and then told me old-fashioned tales
You used to run in the desert with your Invicta rucksack on but
Running has no point if beside money you're short of breath and happiness
There's something I can't figure out
Like diving into the Red Sea
I forgot it way too soon
But I do remember when you told me "I'm staying around"
Lost in a messed-up life
If you think about it I made it hard for myself
The same phone call of yours over and over
The hell with this wasted youth of yours
What do they even know about leaving
If farewells were fashionable you would be number one on trending
I used to play in the car with Nintendo and Pokémon
And you complained if I didn't feel like talking to you anymore
You used to open the window to drop the ash
There's no point in hiding the shit I already know behind a smile
There's something I can't figure out
Like diving into the Red Sea
I forgot it way too soon
But I do remember when you told me "I'm staying around"
Lost in a messed-up life
If you think about it I made it hard for myself
The same phone call of yours over and over
The hell with this wasted youth of yours
