"Treason" lyrics

"Treason"

You come to me when your voice is a whisper
Come to me on the corner of a breeze
You come to me because you cannot have her
You come to me only when you're on your knees

I was naked and you clothed me (Clothed me)
A slave and you stole me (Stole me)
From the ones that couldn't hold me (Hold me)
Who took our freedom away
I was empty and you filled me (Filled me)
Made a friend of my enemy
I was an idiot, but you could see
Things I couldn't see

If you love life and you give love
There's nothing you'll be needing
But if you have love and don't give love
This is treason

You come to me when the waves are crashing
You come to me on the swell of the sea
You come to me when lightning is flashing
In the static electricity

I was the sun and the rain to you
The one who gave a new name to you
I was a vision that came to you
That you can't even see
You were jumping,now you're landing (Landing)
You were kneeling, now you're standing (Standing)
I'm not a child to abandon (Abandon)
So don't abandon me

If you love life and you give love
There's nothing you'll be needing
But if you have love and don't give love
This is treason

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Has your heart stopped the beating?
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
This is treason

Shout 'em out, catch us in a mansion in the open air
I don't wanna make you, wanna rush you, no way, now
Take it all I'm running also wanna see you there
You wanna fake it, never dance, soul, mashup
Who'd you want it, love, hard to get
I want me a better silhouette
Kool-Aid, we're sipping in the coal mine
Mine my soul, you're living off gold
Slipping in my mind, [?] the soul of it
You wanna drill it in Alaska-ka-ka
You want a cupcake, say "I don't know"
You're feeling walls are like balsa wood
Game show, shake your finger
Day-Glo, she's a ringer
Feed my, my, my, my, my soul
World in a fever, she got the glow

If you love life and you give love
There's nothing you'll be needing
But if you have love and don't give love
This is treason

Oh, oh, oh
This is treason
