I build a wall and blow up the bridges
I systematically suppress every thought of you
Let the photos burn and censor the songs
Come what may, I must never lose control again
I strictly monitor everything that moves
Neutralize suspect elements at once
’Cause one sign of weakness is enough, one tremble of the fingers
I need cold blood, ’cause it's no good for me
It's no good for me to remember you
And whenever my heart calls for you
And chaos breaks out inside me
I send my soldiers out
to crush the resistance
Whenever my heart calls for you
And it burns in the streets inside me
I order my army to do whatever it takes
to silence it again
Until it's gagged, broken and locked away
And finally obeys me, my poor heart
A good soldier asks no questions
He runs laps in the park till his legs give out
Forehead in the dust for one and one amen
A soldier forgets everything
If push comes to shove, even his own name
But it only takes one traitor, one leak
A tiny stone for a mighty wave
One spark in the tinder and everything's burning again
The whole facade collapses on itself like a house of cards
Collapses on itself like a house of cards
Whenever my heart calls for you
And chaos breaks out inside me
I send my soldiers out
to crush the resistance
Whenever my heart calls for you
And it burns in the streets inside me
I order my army to do whatever it takes
to silence it again
And whenever my heart calls for you
And chaos breaks out inside me
I send my soldiers out
to silence it again
Until it's gagged, broken and locked away
And finally obeys me, my poor heart
