In Vain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Beautify all I know
Keep on dancing
Let it all turn to gold
When the dream touches ground
The demons walk in
And I know what awaits
A priceless glory
Moment mori
To offer nothing that
I know
Nothing of the heart remains
Even if you could have stayed
We've been here long enough, long enough
To know it's all in vain
Everything we try to say
Up until the final day
I guess we said enough, said enough
To know it's all in vain (oh, oh)
All in vain (oh, oh)
All in vain (oh, oh)
All in vain (oh, oh)
All in vain (oh, oh)
See the world through a tear
Keep on breathing
Soul has dried you're not here
Just so hard be the way
The demons walk in
Now I know it's too late
A priceless glory
Moment mori
To offer nothing that
I know
Nothing of the heart remains
Even if you could have stayed
We've been here long enough, long enough
To know it's all in vain
Everything we try to say
Up until the final day
I guess we said enough, said enough
To know it's all in vain (oh, oh)
All in vain (oh, oh)
All in vain (oh, oh)
All in vain (oh, oh)
All in vain (oh, oh)
To the memories, but I can feel them fading
All in vain, there's nothing left to save me now
I can take and cross the border
I can take and cross the border
Leaving everything behind for you to follow
Everytime I walk away I wanna turn around
I wanna turn around
But nothing of the heart remains
Even if you could have stayed
We've been here long enough, long enough
To know it's all in vain
Everything we try to say
Up until the final day
I guess we said enough, said enough
To know it's all in vain (oh, oh)
Vain
Yeah oh oh oh
I guess we said enough, said enough
To know it's all in vain (oh, oh)
All in vain
All in vain
All in vain
All in vain
