Demir Demirkan - I Conform

Words and music by Demir Demirkan & Phil Galdston

War is peace

Free is slave

Blind is strength

True is fake

The words on the wall are the words in my head

To the faith and the flag I am pledged, with my blood, I am sworn

And I conform

One for all

All for one

Doubt, shame, repeat

Til I’m numb

There’s a book that I hide in the dark of my room

With a poem of a man who will fight for the right, through the storm But I conform

Sky of blue, field of green

Saved for me on my screen...

In the photo I fold in my pocket I’m a boy with my dad by the sea

Dreams are sins

Fear is trust

Hope is death

And die we must

The drones can bring anything I’d ever want

But they can’t bring back all that I've lost, all I mourn

A song that I sang on a beach with my friends

The words soaring high in the sky, under a sun, safe and warm...

For the truth that I learned from my father

For the fate of my children unborn

I conform
