Lyrics and translation
Original
A shadow in the darkness, a whisper of a dream.
I know it's far away, but there's a hope 'cause I believe.
A slowly fading memory, an underwater scream.
I know it's far away, but there is peace for me.
I saw a god, I saw a god offering me perfection.
In the neon, in the neon, in the neon reflection.
He pulled me awake as swift as he came. His wings took flight, never saw him again.
And now I find myself alone, left to wonder if the mannequins could speak, surely they would use their lungs and scream.
The cogs have begun to spin. I might tunnel in my skin.
It's hard to behold, I'm mending a soul that I had broken.
Or should I rejoin the rest? And sleep through my innocence?
Being a human's more of a burden than
I was hoping.
Than I was hoping.
I saw a god, I-I saw a god. I-I saw a god, but he looked and turned away.
Pathetic and cold, an orphan alone in the open.
I begged him to stay with me in the gray. Inanimate like a bird in a cage.
But now I have no doubt at all.
Yeah, I know that if the mannequins could speak, surely they would kick and fucking scream.
The cogs have begun to spin.
I might tunnel in my skin. It's hard to behold, I'm mending a soul that
I had broken.
Or should I rejoin the rest? And sleep through my innocence?
Being a human's more of a burden than
I was hoping.
The sky cracked beneath my feet, splitting at the seams.
A shadow in the darkness, a whisper of a dream.
A shadow in the darkness, a whisper of a dream.
I know it's far away, but there's a hope 'cause I believe.
A slowly fading memory, an underwater scream.
I know it's far away, but there is peace for me.
