Dissident lyrics

she nursed him there, over a night

i wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay

what to say...what to say

but soon she was down, soon he was low

at a quarter past...a holy no...

she had to turn around

when she couldn't hold, oh...she folded...

a dissident is here

escape is never, the safest path

a dissident, a dissident is here

and to this day, she's glided on

always home but so far away

like a word misplaced

nothing said, what a waste

when she had contact...with the conflict...

there was meaning, but she sold him to the state

she had to turn around

when she couldn't hold...she folded...

a dissident is here

escape is never, the safest path

a dissident, a dissident is here

she gave him away when she couldn't hold...no...she folded...

a dissident is here

escape is never, the safest path

a dissident, a dissident is here

couldn't hold on...she couldn't hold...no...she folded...

a dissident is here

escape is never the safest place

a dissident is here
