So maybe I shine by reflecting light And in the world of fiction I've settled in Condemned myself to solitude Light and dark My home Despair Laughter and tears My voice and your touch So maybe I'm damaged beyond repair Asleep in my ivory-cage with shutters down But I retrieved my dreams of us Light and dark My home Despair Laughter and tears My voice and your touch *** Embraced by distorted clouds My lucid nightmare is back again First waves of the rising tide I run away from the flood of bile and filth I reach out my hands to you But I drown in the murk with my silent scream Suddenly! Suddenly!
