(lyrics by Térence)
I recognized you
In strangers' faces
Terrorized too
In foreign places
Broken hiccups in my mouth
A chilly wind heading south
I thought about you

Silent crowds
Grinning for days
Thoughts so loud
Singing praises about the wonder of you

We were feuding over broken trust, bad results
Taming the unexpected
Piercing cracks in the bonds you worked so hard on
Can't say it was expected
