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
