All around the world it's the same thing
All around the world it's the blood in the words
All around the world
Same pages
Trying to speak the language of love

What's happened to me
I'm walking in the bones of a mortal
The message is brief but I'm talking
Like there's no tomorrow
I don't believe in cinematic confessional scripts
I find the greater verbs blister my lips

All around the world it's the same thing
All around the world it's the blood in the words
All around the world
Same pages
Trying to speak the language of love

Up against the tide of unjust years
Sentimental whispers seem to lose their meaning

What's happened to me
I look into my loved ones' faces
What matters to me
What matters in the four-walled spaces
I beg my flesh and bone to carry all I feel
A whirling wheel that words cannot conceal

All around the world it's the same thing
All around the world it's the blood in the words
All around the world
Same pages
Trying to speak the language of love
