about

This is a song for an old friend of mine who got killed for "looking queer".

lyrics

C G F F
Life is short when you die at 24
and now these racist fuckheads try to blame immigration
for a white boys knife in your liver
sometimes I wake up crying, shivering
because you bled to death that night in the hospital

Am F F G
Can you hear from the other side of eternity my heart beat?
If you could just feel what I'm feeling tonight
then I'd be feeling alright 'cause you'd be feeling alive
F
but there's no turning back
G
nah you'll never be back

C G F F
It was you and me and Katrin almost ten years ago
we worked to keep the youth clubs from shutting down
in a torn apart society where everyone's afraid of each other
there's 50 people on this tram
but everyone's sitting alone

Am F F G
Can you hear from the other side of eternity my heart beat?
If you could just feel what I'm feeling tonight
then I'd be feeling alright 'cause you'd be feeling alive
F
but there's no turning back
G
nah you'll never be back
F G
And now you're alone again

End on Am.
