Lyrics[]
You fill me up
With poisoned love
You fill my soul
With sins, but I have learnt to grow
And now too many lies
Too many cries
They are as long as the infinity
I'm starting to rise
Don’t need to be criticized
I'm not an animal in captivity
I'm skinning you out
No longer a part
We don't beat from the same heart
I'm skinning you out
No longer a part
We don't beat from the same heart
We don't beat from the same heart
Ata shotek
Ani shvuya
Metoch milim
Notzra dmama
Zman lakum bli hashash
Levhor mehadash
Ve hashemesh titgale elay dam
Boer lo nirdam
Hakoach be kam
Hahofesh kvar kore li lesham
Metoch hadmama, el avir lenshima
Lo achsir od peima
Zman lkum velivhor, shamaim ve or
Lo achsir od peima
And it's time for me to clean up your mess
I will take it without any regrets
And it's time for me to open my eyes
And to recognize
We don't beat from the same heart
I’m skinning you out, no longer a part
We don’t beat from the same heart
I’m skinning you out, no longer a part
We don’t beat from the same heart
We don’t beat from the same heart
We don’t beat from the same heart
We don’t beat from the same heart
You fill me up
With poisoned love
You fill my soul
With sins, but I have learnt to grow
And now too many lies
Too many cries
They are as long as the infinity
I'm starting to rise
Don’t need to be criticized
I'm not an animal in captivity
I'm skinning you out
No longer a part
We don't beat from the same heart
I'm skinning you out
No longer a part
We don't beat from the same heart
We don't beat from the same heart
You are silent
I am a prisoner
Through our words
Silence was created
Time to rise without fears
To make new choices
And then the sun will be rise again
Time to open my eyes
Stretch out your hands
Freedom is already calling
Out of the silence, into air I can breathe
Wouldn’t miss a beat again
Time to choose, skies and bright lights
Wouldn’t miss a beat again
And it's time for me to clean up your mess
I will take it without any regrets
And it's time for me to open my eyes
And to recognize
We don't beat from the same heart
I’m skinning you out, no longer a part
We don’t beat from the same heart
I’m skinning you out, no longer a part
We don’t beat from the same heart
We don’t beat from the same heart
We don’t beat from the same heart
We don’t beat from the same heart
