[CHORUS Philip Nordström:]
Can you see what I see
can you ever understand me

(ever understand me)
You can never feel what I feel
You can never breathe what I breathe

Will you ever know what I mean

Can you see what I see

can you ever understand me
(ever understand me)
You can never feel what I feel

You can never breathe what I breathe
Will you ever know what I mean



[VERSE 1 Martir:]
Have you ever had that feeling

that you're misunderstood
that's why I'm screaming
(oh, they got you screaming)

now my soul is bleeding
tell me who's seeing
(who's even bothered to care)

Feel what I feel
see what I see
whoever wanna be like me

motha$#&@as don't wanna know about the misery
it's history
pages written by the winner

lord forgive us 'cause I'm not a lonely sinner
I was born in the mud
my history is blood

living on the sacrifices of my parents
in the land of opportunites and sharings
I come from tragedies, surrounded by casualties

I come from mass murder, genocide
hide in the deepest mind
cry in the sleeping eye

tired in a creeping time
fire in a bleeding rhyme
but I'mma rise through despise

and, make truth, out of your lies (so)



[CHORUS Philip Nordström:]

Can you see what I see

can you ever understand me
(ever understand me)
You can never feel what I feel

You can never breathe what I breathe
Will you ever know what I mean


Can you see what I see
can you ever understand me
(ever understand me)

You can never feel what I feel
You can never breathe what I breathe
Will you ever know what I mean



[VERSE 2 Philip Nordström:]

I come from a place
I dont even know
captured life

holds on for more
this story
is one of many

a woman met a man and then they made me
I was born into misery and pain
If my daddy had a soul

I´m pretty sure it ran away
He brought his soul to the devil
and from the devil comes the pain

from that pain I was born
and from that day I´ve been living on
living a better life then that criminal
bigger than him
I wanted to sing

I developed such a thing
and now I´m glad that I had
a father that was bad
it got good...
Every man is his own man

You choose your own destiny


[CHORUS Philip Nordström:]
Can you see what I see

can you ever understand me
(ever understand me)
You can never feel what I feel
You can never breathe what I breathe
Will you ever know what I mean


Can you see what I see
can you ever understand me
(ever understand me)
You can never feel what I feel
You can never breathe what I breathe

Will you ever know what I mean


[VERSE 3 Martir (Philip Nordström):]

(you...you don't know what I've been through)
(...what I've been through...)


I wanna go left
but they teach me right
I think I'm loosing my step
please reach me now
I'm thinking
that I'm slipping

within me
and everything I got
I'm everything I'm not
so what am I suppose to be
two sides of me and I'm both you see
if this is not what I feel
then tell me what's real

another rhyme
another time
I spill
in my mind
deepest thoughts
I conceal
but my voice

is my choice
for my soul to heal
life is a prison
this is my last meal
how could you ever messure the pain
or see the stress in my brain
I'm holdin' myself in $#&@ing chains

and still I wonder...


[CHORUS Philip Nordström:]
Can you see what I see
can you ever understand me
(ever understand me)
You can never feel what I feel
You can never breathe what I breathe
Will you ever know what I mean

Can you see what I see
can you ever understand me
(ever understand me)
You can never feel what I feel
You can never breathe what I breathe
Will you ever know what I mean
