If I Were To Write This Song
Cartel

Ring the [Incomprehensible], let it in, say softly begin

If it feels like the first time, don't let it in

'Cause it wanders by

Like something that could have been


If I were to write this song

That could penetrate your ears

Would it calm your trembling soul?

Would it ease your every fear?


Can we go back to

The place where we all used to see through

Every thing blinding us?

Now you don't understand anything anymore


You shiver at the signs

You're afraid to show that

You're always so willing to know


Could the song solve all our problems?

Could it have the strength to heal?

Would it cripple and destroy

And leave nothing unrevealed?


And then might it uproot every lie

And force us all to cower

Beneath this tremendous weight

In the wake of all its power?


Can we go back to

The place where we all used to see through

Every thing blinding us?


Now you don't understand anything anymore


You shiver at the signs

You're afraid to show that

You're always so willing to know


Oh, did you know, did you know

Did you know better?

Don't you know, don't you know

Don't you know better?

Don't you know, don't you know

Don't you know better?


Don't you know that

You shiver at the signs?

You're afraid to show that

You're always so willing to know


If I were to write the song

That could somehow change the world

Would it be, I can't surrender

I can fight to the death?


Would it give something to live for?

Would it give our final breath?

Would it be a lulling opera, sweet as a child's kiss?

Would it sound like all the others?

Would it sound something like this?
