Starlight in the Shades Lyrics


The taste of my tears,

Still pouring on a world that falls apart.

So many fears and questions crowd my heart,

Now that a flesh coming from the past

Became a candle dying in my hand.

No way, no path to follow, into this fog I delve…

Days bygone lost inside my head,

Fingers slowly draw a face: it's already vanishing.

Slide my way through this dark charade,

Chasing starlight in the shades.

Now take my hand here in this darkness,

And paint it with your light:

I'm trying to find what lies behind…

My past…my memories…

I see all growing dim, drowned in a haze of gray.

I feel something devours my history.

Just losing grip on my senses,

On fine ropes I'm balancing,

Playing hide and seek with time and reality.

A mind forged reverie? I see hangin' memories,

Lying everywhere my eyes can reach,

But when I look back

There's just more black inside the black.

Days bygone lost inside my head,

Fingers slowly draw a face: it's already vanishing.

Slide my way through this dark charade,

Chasing starlight in the shades.

Breath, eyes and memory as one,

Time still going back and forth…

Shards of a life I once had:

Bring them together to trace the tale…
