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
