lyrics

I shed a thousand tears tonight,
Killed every butterfly inside my chest.
Look, here’s another gift for you on Christmas Day
To slaughter sleeping lovers in their dreams.

It’s harsh to make me feel this way, hard to believe there was a way,
It’s hard for me, it’s hard for you
It’s only safe without a heart.

So there yo have it your control, now go to hell with it for good
While I whisper my final fading words: Now is it time for me to leave?
Like poison pouring down my throat. Fine. I’ll go then.

Cause you are in the dark and I can’t make it through.

Thank you for breaking down my heart, break down my love once more.
And now you’re gone I’m still afraid
Of losing you. To lose it all.
But this ain’t in my hands no more, it’s out of my control
Cause now you are song to me, now you are song.
That’s all what’s left for me.

But you are in the dark and I can’t make it through.
Cause you don’t have a heart. Through mine you pushed your dagger.

So where does this lead and where does it end?
I don’t know, doesn’t matter now. Tell me what’s the use?
Night falls an we mend together, day breaks and we part.
Feels like waking from a dream,
A nightmare finally.

Sometimes I miss you so much
I want to scratch off my chest and rip out my heart.
For I just want the pain to die no bottle of wine can ease.
Sometimes I want to see life through your dark eyes to understand.
Do you know how it feels to stand alone in the cold, cold rain?
As drained, as strange, as strained I’ve ever felt.
And if ever held you again I’d still fear to lose you in the end.

But you’re in the dark and I can’t make it through.
Cause you don’t have a heart, through mine you pushed your dagger.
Fly high and reach together for the stars or drown in cold, cold waters.
To crash land from the start. Or die within the arms of your
Dark Soul.

Cause your dark eyes they never lie, that spark I saw in them at nights,
It blinded me like paradise, unlike your mesmerizing smile,
Your tempting lips I’d sacrifice the world to kiss.
Your dark eyes they never lie.

They gave me answer to that question I didn’t dare to ask back then.
Though I had sworn to never write a song like this
But you cannot break what don’t exist.
Maybe I got the answer to it all.
What does it matter in the end?

But you’re in the dark and I can’t make it through to you.
Cause you don’t have no heart, through mine you pushed your dagger.
Fly high and reach together for the stars or drown in cold, cold waters.

To crash land from the start.
Or die within the arms of your
Dark Soul.

about

Nilo Crow Munich, Germany

"Where were you when the Thunder came, the everlasting storm? And when they disappeared again, this nothingness was born.
Your days are dark, your nights are bright – but mine they are both grey."
And so a man walks down the road, with nothing on his mind.
"So who are you?" – and he replies: "I told you, I don't know. I've lost my voice, I've dropped my words, the melody of rain."
