sleepless summer, calling out your name
in dreams and death you come to me
an echo of my pain.
endless music, a shadow of a dirge
the hymns of ancient lovelorn heroes
in my soul emerge.
did you call to me? did i not run to you?
when you didn’t need someone, was i there for you?
did i cry too loud when you left too soon?
it’s because you left me hungry on an empty moon.
have you learnt to suffer yet, or is it paradise?
when you said it’s over now, did you look into my eyes?
all those nights when you lied to me…
well it’s no surprise, no surprise.
aching feeling, tired of this world
in dreams and death you conquer me
silhouette of a girl
droning vision, your umbra in my bed
the haunting melody of love
fucking with my head
