lyrics

The phone is ringing
I can’t buy more time
My head keeps spinning
I close my eyes
No absolution
No paradise
There’s no solution
There’s no surprise
The curtains must stay closed now
And I can’t make a sound
I might light up a candle
When there’s no one around
Will tomorrow be better?

Your arms are cold and weak
My voice too faint to speak
There’s only apathy
After all these years
Just like your scars will stay the same
The rain won’t wash away my pain
These days and weeks and months go by
Without a trace

A darkness falls upon us
Swift without a sound
Ghosts and shadows wandering
Wandering around

Some day we will be torn apart
revealing our secrets of life
That day we will uncover our flaws
All this time hiding inside

Like spiders on your skin
That feeling deep within
A surge of adrenaline
But I should take my time
It’s hard to recognise a man
Without a goal without a plan
I turn around and walk away
Not looking back

A silence falls upon us
Silence all around
Afar a light is flickering
Wanting to be found

Some day we will be torn apart
revealing our secrets of life
That day we will uncover our flaws
All this time hiding inside

We’re getting closer now
We’ll make it anyhow
No matter what the price
For now it will suffice
But when I’m going home
Although I should have known
I’ll be all alone
All alone
