Wings of an ordinary daydream, nothing else is what it seems
I’ve been looking for a chance to wash my hands
And look upon those times that went away
All my thoughts go round and round, a king without his crown
Sleep, feel the colours of the dead spring
Now you see what I can see
But you never really cared to trust yourself
And to let go the ghosts stuck in your head
All my world is falling down, turning upside down
All the magic that surrounds us, it just vanished from our hands
So you start to lose control
All the things to carry on the life built in your head
All my truths are coming down, a stranger in this town

My senses are open to signs I can’t read
My body is longing for touches and sin
Flesh is so weak, or so they say
But in the state I’m in my spirit is weaker
And this new old feeling takes over me
Torments me, absorbs me, revives me and haunts me
Transforming...
I can’t help but feel I’m left out alone
And all the pleasures I could have known
Are nothing but guesses of what might have been
Why did I give up when I should have given in?
And this new old feeling takes over me
Torments me, absorbs me, revives me and haunts me
Transforming...

This is the first day of my eternal loneliness
This is the first day of a whole lifetime without you
I don’t know what really happened
I’m sure that I didn’t dream it
Your face melted with the sunlight
And the morning air made me sick
I guess we do it better in the dark
But let the ghosts answer that for me
Tonight I will think for the both of us
Tonight I will love for the both of us
Tonight I will dream for you and for me
Tonight...

Pick up the pieces of my broken heart
This is the time to cry out loud...

Dear friend:
If you are listening to this, it means that we have both survived.
Having fallen into the depths of the abyss I hardly have the strength to speak these words.
The panic, the anxiety, the anguish I felt are unparalleled with anything I have ever experienced.
I'm lucky to be alive, it's true.
But what has really happened? My memories are hazy, uncertain.
They were difficult times and I know they have been for you too.
That is why it is so important that we keep those experiences in our memories.
This is the proof of our strength.
It is the document of our survival.
The descent into the whirlpool and the ascent to the surface.
In the future every time we fall we will ask ourselves:
"Do you remember the maelstrom?"
And now... Do you...?

It's a hard way to come home
You've got me on my knees
The walls are tumbling down
They're falling like the leaves
The days turned into months and years
I can't forget that you were here
I feel your presence everywhere
In the corner over there
Turn your eyes from me
It's time for me to go
Across the hills and over the sea
I want you more than you know
It's a wild world out there
And nobody gives a damn
In cold blood we don't care
And we don't want to understand
I'm sitting here alone at night
My sleepless eyes are open wide
What do you want me to say
What we had has gone away
The sky is high the road is long
Show me what I should have done
What do you want me to do
Take it all away from you
Turn your eyes from me
It's time for me to go
Across the hills and over the sea
I want you more than you know
Turn your eyes from me
It's time for me to go
Across the hills and over the sea
I want you more than you know
