The window breaks, the house burns,
we pick up the last of the floorboards.
Maybe I am no one to you, just the leftover,
but at least I leave something behind me.
I just want to live, not burn,
and I can scream with all my might.
There is no fate, there was never a destiny,
and I am not quoting the Old Testament now.
I confess my sin, my god,
believe me, I couldn't do anything else,
if I were condemned I would still commit to it.
I confess my sin, believe me,
but I don't need forgiveness,
because every minute of it I would play the same way.
I'd play it again!
From the broken faucet a rainstorm pours on us,
tonight we will keep this night going until the day after tomorrow.
To you, I'm no one, just the leftover,
but existing, that's something I can really do.
I just want to live, not burn,
and I can scream with all my might.
