| Our hearts are trapped
|
| In a spiral of struggle
|
| Futile battle for another dawn
|
| Dreaming of heavens
|
| Heading south further and further
|
| Craving for peace — devoted to war
|
| In search for purpose
|
| In search for meaning
|
| But ending up with vile frustration
|
| For even the richest content
|
| And the purest of joys
|
| Cannot satisfy our hunger anymore
|
| Hearts like vessels, impossible to fill
|
| Leaking the blood, drop by drop
|
| Promises made by us for ourselves
|
| A spark of hope — shield and weapon alike
|
| To hide behind and to strike with wrath
|
| Yet the target is us and it attracts the blade
|
| Every thought we breed tonight
|
| Every chance we face
|
| Every choice we make
|
| They all lead us back
|
| Every dream we breed tonight
|
| Every chance we take
|
| Every choice we make
|
| They all lead us back
|
| Every scar we get tonight
|
| Every memory
|
| Every star and every day
|
| Day after day alone we paint the scars
|
| Layer upon layer and brush is the knife
|
| Day after day alone we paint the scars
|
| Layer upon layer and canvas is the heart
|
| Every thought we breed tonight
|
| Every chance we face
|
| Every choice we make
|
| They all lead us back
|
| Every dream we breed tonight
|
| Every chance we take
|
| Every choice we make
|
| They all lead us back
|
| Every scar we get tonight
|
| Every memory
|
| And this starlit sky
|
| They all lead us back
|
| Every suffering, every joy
|
| Every night and every day
|
| Day after day alone we paint the scars
|
| Layer upon layer and brush is the knife
|
| Day after day alone we paint the scars
|
| Layer upon layer and canvas is the heart
|
| Suffering made bliss
|
| A promise of peace
|
| Self-sacrifice
|
| In hope of serenity
|
| Suffering made bliss
|
| Prosthetic of peace
|
| To kindle a light
|
| In the darkness of mere being
|
| Thicker and thicker
|
| One more scab we paint
|
| To fill the hole again
|
| Thicker and thicker
|
| One more scab we paint
|
| To feel whole again
|
| And no one knows
|
| When it falls apart |
