Lyrics and translation
Original
So now we see ghosts buried in my burn remains These huddled clouds arrive
I understand now
But darkness falls like shattered pieces
Gangling, shivering, torn and tattered crown
Oh, I'll not be told the truth
You're my pain
You must leave to hear me sing these Messy morsels of my self-assuring love
Oh, it's painful
Yes,
I lie and I go with prospective angles That grin me down and face me with all you know
Why do they all look like me?
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh To still the world by my lies And it's alright 'cause tonight there's a last lonely light Of my treacherous life
If
I had hands I'd hold up high my lofty dreams My alibis real name
But I have no strength
So I toss and I turn and I spit in the earth
There's a ghost in your eye There is someone that knows more than
I But I'm quick to deny
So I try and I scream and I beg and
I sigh To still the world by my lies And it's alright 'cause tonight there's a last lonely light Of my treacherous life
We lie
