Lyrics for Liberate the Illiterate

Don't be sad, keep smiling Leave this open to communicate Oh, whoa, oh Lying there on the desk you left a letter When I touched it, it shivered in my hand I rub the surface to see your face in the mirror Translation lost me in a crowded room Leave exposed the wounded Look down kids, it starts to decompose Oh, whoa, oh Looking for some meaning or recognition And your eyes are as blank as my hidden heart I rub the surface to see your trace in the mirror Translation lost me in a crowded room If you want to believe everything you say It keeps you high and in control What I can't understand is why you would want To give the impression of a young lost soul In the end you lack a stance On important subjects that you've lost It's like you're out of control Then you turn round, my head cracks Like it's for the millionth time again (Liberate the illiterate) And you wanted to jump half a canyon I'm at least a companion to it all (Liberate the illiterate) Liberate the illiterate Liberate the illiterate Liberate the illiterate Liberate the illiterate
