I'd give my life for one more night
The pain of my wounds keeps me awake
I bathe in tears, talk myself deaf
You are in my veins like burning dust
You permeate deep into my pores
You penetrate into my wounds and leave me alone
Each wave exhausts me, each word escalates*
Each conciliatory gesture ably ignored
I burn in misery; I do it for you
Each new endeavour is a hit in the face
We forgive ourselves for nothing even after all this time
And not much remains for us from the past
Look at us only in the reflection
Say, what has happened?
Why must we hate ourselves?
Look at us only in the reflection
Say, can you still see us?
Or have the wounds hurt for too long?
I burn my life into your skin
Dive into the incisions, cut you out
Time heals all wounds, or so they say
Why then do I still love you now?
Look at us only in the reflection
Say, what has happened?
Why must we hate ourselves?
Look at us only in the reflection
Say, can you still see us?
Or have the wounds hurt for too long?
Say, can you still see us?
Why does it hurt so badly?
Look at us only in the reflection
Say, what has happened?
Why must we hate ourselves?
Look at us only in the reflection
Say, can you still see us?
Or have the wounds hurt for too long?
