I live no more to shame, nor me, nor you
I'm sorry

Born from silence, silence full of it
A perfect concert, my best friend
So much to live for, so much to die for
If only my heart had a home

Sing what you can't say
Forget what you can't play
Hasten to drown into beautiful eyes
Walk within my poetry, this dying music
My love letter to nobody

Never sigh for better world
It's already composed, played and told
Every thought, the music I write
Everything, a wish for the night

Wrote for the eclipse, wrote for the virgin
Died for the beauty, the one in the garden
Created a kingdom, reached for the wisdom
Failed in becoming a god

Never sigh for better world
It's already composed, played and told
Every thought, the music I write
Everything, a wish for the night

If you read this line
Remember not the hand that wrote it
Remember only the verse
Songmaker's cry, the one without tears
For I've given this its strength
And it has become my only strength
Comforting home, mother's lap, chance for immortality
Where being wanted became a thrill I never knew
The sweet piano writing down my life

Teach me passion, for I fear it's gone
Show me love, hold the lorn
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
I'm sorry
Time will tell, this bitter farewell
I live no more to shame, nor me, nor you

And you
I wish I didn't feel for you anymore

A lonely soul
An ocean soul
A lonely soul
An ocean soul

So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
Time will tell

A lonely soul
An ocean soul
A lonely soul
An ocean soul
