Desdemona, help yourself   I hear you mourning at the dawn   Desdemona, ask which side   Of all this lying are you on      Did you build yourself a runway?   Did you tell yourself tomorrow?   Did you cry?   And are you dressed in hesitation   when you tell yourself that everything's alright?      Cause I see a distance in your smile   And what your Mondays have become   could be the rest of your life   Desdemona, you're not dead yet   No it's not wrong   If you want everything in life under the sun   Under the sun      Desdemona, you're in love   Do not forget about yourself   Desdemona, bring the people   That you love inside your hell      Cause you are younger in the eyes of those who see you   Please forget about the time   Throw yourself out on these brave and empty branches   In the winter waiting high.      Everybody's out there killing time   But I will be damned to lets you stand here killing mine.   Don't you know we're gonna change a whole world the day   We stop waiting on the world to change      Desdemona, we are not so very different   Do you see?   At the moment braver still   Than what our minds let us believe      Even the walls the will surround you   Somehow steady by your very own hands   I don't know just how to change you   All I know is how to tell you that you can      Cause I'll never tell you how to live   But you keep on telling me   That's just the way it is   Desdemona more then anything I know   Never tell yourself that's just the way it goes   I know it goes   But what do I know
