Protect Me

It is the discomfort of the moment; The disease that spreads. The party is over, we are going down. The thoughts that freeze the reason; Lowered eyelids, gray face; The ghosts of our bed get up. The catch of the gate is open... Taudit house is called. Protégez-moi contre ce que je veux. Protégez-moi. Are we the toys of destiny? Remember the moment divine; Planing, broke out in the morning, And now we are all alone, Lost dreams of love. Times when we had done nothing, There is still a whole life crying, And now we are all alone. Protégez-moi contre ce que je veux. Protégez-moi contre ce que je veux. Protégez-moi. Protégez-moi. Protect me. Protect me.

Hear my thin voice Hear my words fall down See my ambitions fade out Had so much better times At night Walking on the tracks Change my perspective Idle hands With wounds and cracks Still Ineffective But past the veil The memories of things Still so in love with you So dense this strife Kick the life I feel this weight upon my heart Indecision Sow the seed Aspiration is never within reach At night there is no other view Sing a song for the ones who never made it In the ward Under yellow lights Under linden trees I am Transparent And led to believe That things would change if I go away The lowering sky under which we go Constant noise Behind the overcoming I had no choice but to rearrange The scar is open I am not allowed to understand I take it as you're not coming back
