Breaking Standing Songtext
von ¡Forward, Russia!

I fled for my lips the instant that I saw
The bruises on the inside of your face
Those purple blotches showed through your translucent skin
You passed it off as a trick of the light

Not for the first time, but certainly not the last
The placid nurse denied a tonic death
And the hospital board worried about the law
Resisted the urge to contradict anything

When it weighs too much
Think of it as seven times the weight
But when it costs too much
Consider it, but don′t come to me for aid


I'm being deaf to all this legal junk
These facts and these figures keep forcing me to go on
Through the pain and the fear of knowing
The emptiness the near-rims show me
The lucky child is learning fast
A body count will never last
But the sentimental killing lasts forever, forever

When it weighs too much
Think of it as seven times the weight
But when it hurts too much
Consider it, but don′t come to me for aid

I've got a learning for you
Subpoena questions to do
Want you to know that
The air is filled with millions of thoughts
The air is filled with millions of blackness
With thoughts of what's bad and with thoughts of what′s good
The air is filled with millions of voices
The heart of the stone is the heart of the one

When it weighs too much
Think of it as seven times the weight
But when we talk too much
Consider it a part of my escape


The walls of Rome are tumbling down
So functional they make no sound
But the sentimental building stands forever, together, forever
