I live no more to shame
Nor me, nor you
I'm sorry
Born from silence, silence full of it
A perfect concert to my best friend
So much to live for, so much to die for
If only my heart had a home
Sing what you can't say
Forget what you can't play
Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes
Walk within my poetry, this dying music
My love letter to nobody
Never sigh for better world
It's already composed, played and told
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night
Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin
Died for the beauty, the one in the garden
Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom
Failed in becoming a god
Never sigh for better world
It's already composed, played and told
Every thought the music I write
Everything a wish for the night
If you read this line, remember not the hand that wrote it
Remember only the verse, songmaker's cry, the one without tears
For I've given this its strength, and it has become my only strength
Comforting home, mother's lap, chance for immortality
Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew
The sweet piano writing down my life
Teach me passion for I fear it's gone
Show me love, hold the lorn
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
I'm sorry
Time will tell (this bitter farewell)
I live no more to shame nor me nor you
And you, I wish I didn't feel for you anymore
A lonely soul
An ocean soul
A lonely soul
An ocean soul
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
Time will tell
A lonely soul
An ocean soul
A lonely soul
An ocean soul
