Serj Tankian
Forget Me Knot
[Verse 1]
Don't forget me now
Laughing through the tears
For somewhere, somehow
Life becomes the years
[Pre-Chorus]
You speak to millions but you're talking to no one
Home is the place that you can't walk away from
You seek all opinions but listen to no one
Throw up your hands and tell me that it's all done
[Chorus]
We intend to rise through motion
Speak through silence and fight 'til the ocean
No more glimmering hopes or commotions
Our dedications to each other and devotion
[Verse 2]
No pretending now
Your heart is open and you reappear
For somewhere, somehow
You dropped the ball and you ran with fear
[Pre-Chorus]
You speak to millions but talk to no one
Home is the place you can't walk away from
You seek opinions but listen to no one
You throw up your hands and tell me that it's all done
[Chorus]
We intend to rise through motion
Speak through silence and fight 'til the ocean
No more glimmering hopes or commotions
Our dedications to each other and devotion
[Post-Chorus]
We intend to speak through peace
Cross the ocean and wake up in the east
Make Jerusalem home for all creeds
Unsheathe your swords and tame the ego's beast
[Bridge]
I want you, I need you
I pray that God absolves you
Can't live this life without you
I've cleared the coffin for two
I want you, I need you
I pray that God absolves you
Can't live this life without you
I've cleared the coffin for two
Come, today is another day
Come, your hairs are no longer grey
Come, we're clearing the runway
There's no turning back from the path for the chosen ones
[Chorus]
We intend to rise through motion
Speak through silence and fight 'til the ocean
No more glimmering hopes or commotions
Our dedicatios to each other and devotion
[Post-Chorus]
We intend to scream through peace
Cross the ocean and wake up in the east
Make Jerusalem home for all the creeds
Unsheathe your swords and tame the ego's beast
