Live a Lie

Time has turned scars into wounds That are bleeding reminiscence; You’ll forget about me soon, Always keeping up the distance Of a step between two worlds – My step back or your step forward; My heartbeat will cease at all Once you tell me it is over. Agony, but silent, Rains of moonlit tears, Breaking through the darkness, Soon to disappear. Screaming out loud, I am almost drowned. Life is so severe – Why not live a lie? Summer’s coming… not for me, As I’m dying here in silence. Lie to me and set me free, For deceit is less than violence Of indifference – of the pain That my heart can hardly swallow. Take my hand – I’ll breathe again, Make me feel again… Agony, but silent, Rains of moonlit tears, Breaking through the darkness, Soon to disappear. Screaming out loud, I am almost drowned. Life is so severe – Why not live a lie? Melt the ice that’s pierced my glance And rewrite the story, telling Of my hopeless romance, Of my dim and dismal dwelling. Speak to me and feel the void, Wipe the tears you haven’t seen yet. Would you dare to destroy Dreams I can’t forget? Agony, but silent, Rains of moonlit tears, Breaking through the darkness, Soon to disappear. Screaming out loud, I am almost drowned. Life is so severe – Why not live a lie?
