Past - remember the sun Sea - shining bright and warm Dreams - I never forgot I’ve lost my memory Smell - acrid and strong Love - like father and son I tried to take that path Fade - first twinkling then gone Like sand through my hands I’m punching another hole in my ticket I was a child in a world full of men Sailing a barren sea Trying to picture my own reflection Lost in the deep Why was I always the second best? I was forced to forget what I loved Turning my dreams into fears Hundreds of steps in the wake of the old man Faded pain, no tears Why walk straight down this grey brick road? An insidious question often strikes me Day after day Is there a life before death? My faith has vanished All my passions lost to despair I crave for your light A hope to embrace A life lacking depth I open my eyes but it’s in vain I’m blind I’m tired of fighting My demons grow I’m going crazy My desires surrounded by canvas and colours All buried beneath years of soil An insidious question often strikes me Day after day Is there a life before death? My faith has vanished All my passions lost to despair I crave for your light A hope to embrace
