lyrics

Despite the years of failure,
i still want to fly,
falling into the void,
i don't want to die.

Long dried blood rots on the canvas,
the artist is weary he's starving,
his vision blurs.

He hasn't slept for 3 days.
He hasn't eaten for a week.
He hasn't started to paint yet would death bring relief?

He wanted the world to start to move backwards.
He wanted to feel he wanted to touch.
He wanted the wind to gently stroke his face.
He felt for her love... felt for her grace...
He wanted the Earth not to be his cage.
He wanted the ground not to be his grave.
The clock is thicking it can never be stopped.
The sand in the hourglass will never stuck.
The deadline is coming closer but art is dead,
the always open mouth got silenced and fed,
with all the filth of the world,
he is tattered and torn but he will return.

Despise the years of failure,
i still want to fly,
falling into the void,
i don't want to die.

I thought that i needed to be dead...i thought that it would help...

I am fed up with all these meaningless songs.
I am fed up with always taking your side.
My wings might be broken but i will always try,
to fly away from here and despite my falls,
i get up from the floor with broken legs,
with broken heart, and broken chest,
my heart gets stronger every time,
i bleed out all my fears we shouldn't fear the fall.

Noone stays young enough to understand these words!
Noone stays young enough to learn to love the world!
