Seasons change like paintings outside the windows
Nestled in, looking out, they never seem to care
Only my path seems to be clouded in winter
Look around there's never a chance I dared

In the darkest there's a light at the end of the tunnel
The one I thought was lost and hated from before
It's bittersweet, the way it rises from its ashes
When I could've swear I wouldn't see it anymore

And I can see it taunting me and promising new hurtings
I can hear it burning like it never stopped
There's a duality of wanting it to fill me completly
And walk way, turning my back to never pass that door

Leap of faith is such a tantalising thought
Devoid of meaning, a ghost vanishing in the air
Constructed worlds are populating my subconscious
But I truly know not a part of them will ever be there

Seasons changing as they always do
Numbing cold, complacent heat shaping the atmosphere
Lungs breathe an illusion of life
I move away but I can't disappear

Seasons changing, fog remaining inside

Can you feel it tonight?
We go by the moonlight
When  the street is brand new
Silvery but gold stricken too

In the absence of light
Shadows try to survive
Not this time, nevermore
We rise up and open the door

My pain is reeling
I don't care about her tears
No my heart has no feeling
It went numb over the years

Made a tower of smoke
To replace what you took
Red reflexions, red wine
Keep it full till I survive

Dance away like a doll
Turn away when you call
With the moon watching me
Quiet strenght, full bravery

My demons are reeling
They don't care about my tears
No my heart has no feeling
It went numb over the years

There are two kinds of people

The ones that break you into a million pieces just because they can;

The ones that pick every single one of them, no matter the depths and darkness they have to face,  merge them back together  and offer that mangled mess to you as if it were a treasure, just so you can become whole again

I've met the first kind
Someday I'll meet the second

Time passes like a fistful of sand escapes through the fingers
The clock ticks at the same rythm everyday
Nothing disrupts my existence, there are no triggers
Repetition merged with me and is taking me away

Try to climb and hang on the little thread called hope
I scratch and move and cry without wavering
Something's missing, everything resumes to emptiness
So I find myself at the same place everyday

Cold days replace hot summers
Leaves die, are born and burnt away
My soul is intact and delirious
It doesn't find a home to stay

Where do I look now?
What do I do with a worthless existence?
Dive into uncharted waters so I can drown again

There's no peace in numbness, only quiet desperation

Struggling to keep my head afloat
Apparently you need air to breathe
Sweet nothings decay into burning dust
And from completion I turn again incomplete

In that water you don't live or die
The pressure crushes your chest thin
The earth rotates for everyone I see
But my earth is a black pit within  

Heartstrings are as fragile as a feather
My feathers flew away with you
I'm not gonna weave them anymore
They end up cut all the way through

Don't touch my heartstrings if you're not planning on writing a song

I look at you like you're the best
Staring at the corner of your eye
Faintly pausing my sight on you
Worrying yours will encounter mine

Aware of your presence next to me
I freeze and become a dummy everytime
Building up walls and feelings alike
Wonder and doom battling on my mind

Silly dreams fade when you're awake
Leaving the emptiness of worlds never built
Something meaningful is lost on fantasies
Your only desire is reaching out to it

Sandcastles sitting on air
That time you walked in
Coming from nowhere

You looked just like me
When I looked at you
We got to be a second of truth

The whole episode
Was a parade from then on
The walls were up high
And the stares not as long

Goodbye, it wasnt as sweet
And filled with elation
But the missing part feels the same
Unchanging
