Landscapes 16:18
I gaze out of my window All I see is a gray landscape Few bizarre creatures passing me by Outside there is nothing for me No sun, no moon Just an empty vision Still they seem to like it Our true nature is raped When I look in front of me I see a new reality A reality that's not for me A place where very few can see Hollow shells everywhere Running around the circle Only images of present in their eyes Forgotten past and unknown future When I look into your eyes I see no image of your mind All that I can see Is a wisdom rotted by this reality I must say I am disappointed To the view that I now see This landscape reminds me Of my dreams when all is gone I can't take my life away so I will take yours You took my heart away and ask me what's wrong You keep telling me that there's a hope But you cannot see, that I am dead! When I look into your eyes I see no image of your mind All that I can see Is a wisdom rotted by this reality

Reaching out for moon of the sky And stars in absence of night Thinking is there a reason For this existence's failure Lord of the skies and dust Hear me when I call your name I want to be like you And clear this filthy horizon And now I hide myself In this place there is no one else Who can see through these eyes of hate My existence will fade You will die in no time And I'm not afraid to try At first you think That your feelings are true But then you realise That your soul is torn You told me you like to kiss the mirror But then you went to the arms of a window You hated me cause I was outside But when I left you came there too Now I won't worship the mirror of love I will crush it and break it down In this mission I'm on my own Cause everyone has the blackened window I look at you You look outside of me This life is empty now I will never be free Turns out I exist in a paradox Where you want to go through the window And outside you want to go back Now I gaze At these ruins And I can't remember Why I'm still here The sky is open For me to go there As a star at the night I lead your path Can you feel the air shivering My spirit flows in the wind You smell the air But it's too late to miss me Now when I fall asleep I hope not to dream the past I hope to dream another world And be there when I wake up
