one of the weak

The sea starts at my feet
Holy water, you are too big for fear
The world lies behind my back
Eaten by hunger, defending the attack

​

And I don't want to turn around
Cause it hurts me to see how I treat you
While I'm one of the weak
How I treat you while I'm one of the weak

​

When I, I came to enjoy
You did not choose to be destroyed
Is it you or me who deserves the right
To get the best out of this life?

​

And I don't want to turn around
Cause it hurts me to see how I treat you
While I'm one of the weak
And I don't want to turn around
Cause it hurts me to see how I treat you
While I'm one of the weak
How I treat you while I'm one of the weak

​

The sky looks less clear than before
It wasn't us but you who can't breathe no more
The sky looks less clear than before
It wasn't us but you who can't breathe no more
A tear blurred my sight
I joined your cry

​

I don't want to turn around
Cause it hurts me to see
How I treat you while I'm one of the weak
And I don't want to turn around
Cause it hurts me to see
How I treat you while I'm one of the weak
And I don't want to turn around
Cause it hurts me to see how I treat you
While I'm one of the weak
How I treat you while I'm one of the weak
