the city cast a shadow
from a fundament in grey
social standards race me higher
a serenade of dreams
i try to reach
a second hope seems to exist
now i got to live with them forever
this is the sorrow that comfort me
dreams of torture hunt my sleep
i've never been so alone before
i've never been scared to dream until now
so i close my eyes
this soul i have lacks something deep
a weakening emptiness brought through
and this is the pain that drives me
this cold wind that rushes over me
will the city give me shelter?
the rain that touches me
an endless emotion
now i got to live with them forever
this is the sorrow that comfort me
dreams of torture hunt my sleep
i've never been so alone before
i've never been scared to dream until now
so i close my eyes
