I forgot what my father said I forgot what he said I forgot what my mother said As we lay upon your bed A city full of flowers A city full of rain I got seven days to live my life Or seven ways to die I forgot what my brother said I forgot what he said I don't regret anything at all I remember how we wept On a bridge of violent people I was small enough to cry I got seven days to live my life Or seven ways to die Hold my face before you Still my trembling heart Seven days to live my life Or seven ways to die The gods forgot they made me So I forget them too I listen to the shadows I play among their graves My heart was never broken My patience never tried I got seven days to live my life Or seven ways to die Seven days to live my life Or seven ways to die Seven
