lyrics

When I was born
I was wrapped in you
I learned your language
When you thaugt me to
Oh how I felt young when I walked with you
not free but carefree
until I questioned you

I have questioned you
I have questioned you

And since my second birth
I have been watching you
And I have learned to focus
On what I cannot do
And what I cannot change
To be entwined with you
When I don't have your presence
Then I am free of clues

I am free
I am free
But I'm not free

Don't you know that I can't be
without your china made love
Don't you know that I can't be
without your china made love
Don't you know that I cannot be...

Now when you hurl at me
Your shirts and nails
Then I have your presence
Like a faceless stain
And my hope is lost
Can't be regained
This world is lost
And it can't be saved

And god's wrath never rained on me
Though I'm not all that I could be
And the sky never fell down on me
And that's as bad as it can be

Now I know just what I want to criticise
But when I use your language
I don't see eye to eye
And I am kept from speaking
Because i'm satisfied

I am satisfied, I am satisfied
Nothing to wish for now

Don't you know that I can't be
without your china made love
Don't you know that I can't be
without your china made love

without you

china made love
china made walls
china made war
china made heart
china made war
china made nails
china made war
china made art
