Hawking - Leave You Behind lyrics

[Verse 1] Inside of these walls I've built a good life They said to get out but they're wasting their time We won't make it through if we stay here But we've got everything that we hold dear My grandmother told me to always keep smiling To practice for the day when my sister stopped crying I've seen it time and time again You're a fool to think you're safe from them [Chorus 1] But I'm not afraid of their airborne disaster If it doesn't k** me it can call me its master I've lived through hell for my own kind There's no way, there's no way There's no way I could leave you behind [Verse 2] They can put up their fences and call us inhuman Force us to abandon our lives as we knew them But they can't take us anywhere We've got everything we love right here I saw how my father took care of my sister Mathilda's been gone for 2 years and I miss her But now I have to miss him too I swear to god I'll live to honor you [Chorus 2] I'm not afraid of their airborne disaster We've got all we need between the nails and the plaster I've lived through hell for my own kind There's no way, there's no way There's no way I could leave you behind [Bridge] And I pray for the good lord to fix this And put me to sleep Go to sleep and make the silence, my mistress Cause it won't ever leave my mind Silent screams and the look in your eyes Smell of snow while your hand clung to mine Your last breath when they took you away and I left you behind [Chorus] But I'm not afraid of their airborne disaster If it doesn't k** me it can call me its master I've lived through hell for my own kind There's no way, there's no way There's no way I could leave you... And I'm not afraid of their airborne disaster We've got all we need between the nails and the plaster I've lived through hell for my own kind There's no way, there's no way There's no way I could leave you behind
