I'm haunted by memories of happier days
Those pictures of you, they will forever stay
I'm trying to hide them, to lock them away
But alone in the night, how could I hold them at bay?
It's always the small things that hurt me the most
The breath of a phantom, the touch of a ghost
The curve of your lips, to be more precise
The light of your fire, the dark in your eyes
The dark in your soul I will never forget
It has taken its toll every time that we met
And now that I'm done with my sorrow and pains
The magic is gone but darkness remains
Alone in the night, a different man
Waiting for the sun to rise again
Alone in the forest
My mind fast asleep
No reason to laugh
And no need to weep
My spirit is dreaming
Of freedom and love
Its lullaby sung
By sparrow and dove
I can't hear them talking
Of madness and death
There's no human sound
Except my own breath
And just in this moment
I'm wearing a smile
It won't last forever
But at least for a while
I'm torn between what's wrong and right
Comforting blindness, cruel sight
Suffering and pain I see
But some peace there has to be
Traditions, lies, what does it matter
As long as they make me feel better?
Truth and wisdom can't be bad
But how come they make me sad?
Ignorance is bliss, they say
I did believe it 'til this day
But now all blessings I receive
Cannot withstand reality
And though it's hurting me to see
The daily pain and misery
I'll never close my eyes again
As from the truth too long I ran
