I wake up in a castle
In a blossoming garden
Feeling so lonely

I hung myself inside this mess filled with thorns

Tell me what do they call you?
Where are you running off to?
Oh could you tell me?

I found you kept away inside this garden

And I know your warmth is -
closest to reality
the flowers that you picked for me

Reaching for your hand,
But this is my fate

Don't smile on me
Light on me
No I can never take another step to you
Don't have a name to call me by anymore

You know that I can't
Show you me
Give you me
The weaknesses that I hide you can never see

I wear a mask again so I could see you
but I still want you

alone in this garden
want to give you a flower
reminding me of you

I'd give you all to take this foolish mask off

But I know that I can -
never give you more than that
Forever may not be for us

mask my true self now
'cause I'm so afraid

That in the end
you'll leave again
I know that it's pathetic, what was I to do

I wear a mask again so I could see you

My soul is not whole
I'm all alone
These walls won't hold
The castle made of sand is falling from within

I'm taking off this mask to go and meet you
and I still want you
this was one of my favorite songs off the album and I wanted to cover it in English when I get the chance so I found a good translation, tweaked it a bit and structured it into a song
