Saul Williams - Before the War Lyrics

(I need water.
Give me water.
Something invisible.)

Your mother the same way
Before the war.

She stayed inside some days
Before the war.

Remember when she froze
Before the door just like you froze,
Out in the garden?

And she was my best friend
Before the war.

I wanted children then
Before the war.

She always knew
What we were destined for
Before before.

She always questioned
What made hearts harden.

Something invisible
Something in me
Hardly predictable
Yearning to be
My pleasure
Your pleasure.

Something in the way
The guards they fall
And how the sirens sing
Gray whales to shore.

My pleasure.
Your pleasure.

And if there's an ounce
Of forgiveness in me
I'll make it rain songs
That their children will sing
And then you will see
Then you will feel
All that I know is real.

I thought that time would heal
Before the war.

I contained how I feel
Before the war.

I sensed that I was here
Before before

Before they came for me
Out in the garden.

And she was my best friend
Before the war.

I never saw an end
Before the war.

I always felt
What we where destined for
Before before.

I always questioned
What made hearts harden.

My pleasure.
Your pleasure.

Something in the way
The guards they fall
And how the sirens sing
Gray whales to shore.

My pleasure Your pleasure !

And if there's an ounce
Of forgiveness in me
I'll make it rain songs
That their children will sing

And then you will see
Then you will feel
All that I know is real.

I thought that time would heal
Before the war.

I contained how I feel
Before the war.

I sensed that I was here
Before before

Before they came for me
Out in the garden.

And she was my best friend
Before the war.

I never saw an end
Before the war.

I always felt
What we where destined for
Before before.

I always questioned
What made hearts harden.
