Clutching at straws Songtext / Lyric

"There is nothing here for us anymore! This is not living, it?s just not!" you exclaim at the top of your lungs. You have become so agitated; you?re shaking and panting. I wrap my arms around you to calm you down, we fall to the ground and you break, I cannot stop your tears. It just hurts too much. "Where do we go from here?" you ask with a sense of helplessness in your voice. "Where?" again I am speechless, it all seems so futile. We lay there embracing in a desperate attempt to hold on to the past, to our memories of love, the better times. The violence rings in our ears, these memories will last forever. There are constant explosions, mothers mourning dead children and lovers like us trying to hold on to any shred of hope that?s left.

"We can?t stay here, come on lets go!" I drag you to your feet and we begin to make our way through the maze of destruction. I have no idea where we are trying to go; I just know we can?t stay here, "Come on sweetheart! Take my hand!"
