START AGAIN (Live)

My feet planted on the Earth
My head tipped to the Sun
I pretend I am alone on this world
I shut both eyes tight
I press up against the wall
I pretend I’ve lost my head
La la la la….

I don’t want to leave
I don’t want to exist
I don’t want to live so much in reality
I want to leave
I want to exist
I want to die and then do it all over again

The rainbow in that cigarette pack
The ocean in that wineglass
Pack all of them into my empty heart
I talk more and more nonsense
I fall deeper and deeper into silence
I pretend more and more that I understand nothing
La la la la….

I don’t want to leave
I don’t want to exist
I don’t want to live so much in reality
I want to leave
I want to exist
I want to die and then do it all over again

Look in all directions
Look at all the people
Look at me at the end of a brilliant road
Don’t feel my heart racing
Don’t feel ashamed
Don’t feel sure that I even want to know
La la la la….
