Lethargica
So heavy
So easy
The world vanishes
For just a second
And when it returns
It's not the same
What happened
In that blink
Is beyond me
I really tried
To stay here
I did
Because every single time
I come back
It's harder and harder and harder and harder
To come home
It's not always better
Here
But at least
When I see
Those strange things
At least
Here
I know it's not just
Me
There, I gave her
A ring
And I gave another
A kiss
I gave him
A twirl on the ice
An another
Wine laced with my blood
Because he lied
And I was poisoned
It's not always better, you see
But it's different
And every single time
It's harder and harder and harder and harder
To come back
Because I'm already home
I was born sleeping
And sometimes
Just sometimes
It's good
And should my wishes
One day come true
I would never
Have to
Wake
Up
