alien

alienation
that is what happens to all of us at some point
we understand it when our ankles hurt
or our heads are heavy
when we know we dont belong
and we dont want to indeed

alienation
that is what happens to all of us when things are unjust
we understand that our hearts hurt
or our heads are full of conspiracy
then we know we dont belong
and we dont want to belong indeed

alienation
that is what happens when you understand all
but you cannot answer
our hearts are wary
and our heads are full of knowledge
just dont know what to do with it
then we know we dont belong
and we dont want to belong indeed

just to sail away if it was possible
if it was possible to go away
to the place where we belong
it might be the womb of our mothers
or our mother tongue
or a poem that we heard somewhere and
we forgot what it was

liberation freedom independence
all was a lie
you made us believe
we were slaves still
in fact then came alienation
when we know we dont belong and
we dont want to belong indeed.
