A giant echo - We're very tired

"We're very tired" is a song by A giant echo (Sergio Todisco) from the album "Songs by ghosts and machines"

Lyrics:

(We're not raving
only you've not the keys)

We're very tired
(We loved our consciousness)
we're very, very tired,
(the will to kill ourselves)
our brains are vain,
(Can you tell if we were born)
we're played out, give us our breakfast!

Remember when
(Do you remember who we were)
surely we had some pain,
(Do you remember where we came from)
remember that
(Can you tell if we were born)
we knew well their holy, beautiful names.
(Can you tell)

Do you really understand
the word “inconsolable”,
we know we've never had such a clear
experience of
the meaning of a word
everyday we say to ourselves
“our life purpose is to
kill ourselves
at the age of thirty-five”

Our glasses are broken
(We loved our consciousness)
but now we can see better,
(The will to kill ourselves)
our eyes are dry,
(Can you tell if we were born)
we know they cannot close anymore

Our skin's melted
(Do you remember who we were)
with insignificant clothes,
(Do you remember where we came from)
our arms are strong
(Can you tell if we were born)
and we don't know if our hurt wing can work
(Can you tell)

They taught us that our lives would
gradually lose meaning and value
till our mind
became empty and now we're ghosts.
We've been trying to find natural laws and
healthy bodies where we could
cherish our memories
and our spirits but

our better memories are
turned into horrible dreams
and the left-over bodies
are going to rest forever,
so we are forced to wander through
ghost lands, ghost just like we are
