I will carry this torch because it's the only light that I can see so far.
A lost and bitter soul longing for someone to prove me wrong.
Saying farewell is always a little bit like dying yourself.
But it is mostly loss teaching us about the worth of things.
The melancholy comes in like a fog from time to time.
I put it on and it reminds me of how I lost myself.
These times will change your view as everything else is trying to turn you to stone.
I already know I'm outliving myself, but I have to make sure that I am not undone.
Where have I been?
What have I been?
A particular distraction at best.
Only a few circles in the water will prove that we have ever been here.
All our words are so transient, soaked in from the ground.
When they say: 'All you need is a hand to hold.',
too much fascination for what I cannot control.
I can't control myself.
I can't control myself this time.
How can I detest the things I've done, when they brought me salvation?

Where have I been?
What have I been?
A particular distraction at best.
How can I detest the things I've done, when they brought me salvation?
To all those walking the tightrope all alone,
To all those grieving on their own,
To all those I say:
Don't be afraid, you are not alone.
Don't be afraid, we are not alone.
Don't be afraid, you are not alone in this.
