lyrics

The image of happiness continues to fade
Its shape turned to emptiness inside my chest
It tends to keep me up during these cold nights
These drinks that keep me warm might break me down

Bent under my own shadow, afraid to look up
No one ever bothers to offer me a hand
Alone in my own pain, a forced smile on my face
Smiling while I fall, no one will ever know

Pull me up.
I’d like to taste the light.
Let me down.
Hope has abandoned me.

In the city of sadness no one seems to care
But everybody stares when I’m crying for help
Alone in my own pain, a forced smile on my face
Smiling while I fall, no one will ever know

My body, broken and covered in bruises.
My weak heart, barely held together by stitches.

Why does happiness always shun its face away from me?
Why does love always turn its back on me?

How much longer until there is no return?
I keep telling myself that I can make it
But the future doesn’t seem so bright
With knives in my back and nails in my lungs
Breathing is hard, my knees are giving up
Betrayal after betrayal, I no longer have the strength
To fight back and to move on, just let me lie down
In this bed of razors that the world has made for me

A lonely soul in a constant war
A fragile heart in a constant longing
A lonely soul gives up the battle
A fragile heart stops beating
