Suite 226 Songtext
von Serious Black

It was the spring of an early summer
Faded green with yellow′s mood
I could taste the bitter freedom
I could lick it right off the spoon
In the summer days of genius
In the early days of Pan
I found mystery and wonder
In the misery of man

Now the sun shines in through your window
As the rains fall inside this hole
Hold your cup up, call on your servant
That shackled you onto this earth
(Shackled you onto this, shackled you onto this)
What a world is this
Suite 226


Soon my shadow grew longer
And the colours all burned
And the storm just grew stronger
And the record still turned
I was lost in the thunder
I was lost in the rain
I was charmed by the silence
Distilled from their pain

Now the sun shines in through your window
As the rains fall inside this hole
Hold your cup up, call on your servant
That shackled you onto this earth
(Shackled you onto this, shackled you onto this)
Now the sun shines in through your window
As the rains fall inside this hole
Hold your cup up, call on your servant
That shackled you onto this earth
(Shackled you onto this, shackled you onto this)
What a world is this

When I fall, will you find me?
When I fall
I never saw myself quite like this
I never pictured this

My world fits your world
Your world fits my world


So I saw myself inside
(I swear I didn't know, I really didn′t know)
But all realities collide
Your world bleeds my world

Can someone call the warden?
You're not dying here
"Please let me out!" I'm crying
But nobody hears
There′s no nurse, just silence
Where′s the dinner bell?
This might be hell
But dying is the only tell

I'm breaking out
Or so I tell myself
This time
There′s no barrier
I'm breaking out
This time I′m making it
This time
I will make it out

I tried to spare my mother
Of my deepest shame
And I denied my father
Well, that's all the same
Never wrote my sister
No one knows out there
No, not a single soul
Knows I′m a prisoner here

I'm breaking out
Or so I tell myself
This time
There's no barrier
I′m breaking out
This time I′m making it
This time
I will make it out
