I’ve been driving full of might
Have been, my dear
But the sound I’m looking for
Is not here, not here
In the deep see I spill my tears
And see a glare
The silent river of my thoughts
With violence pushes me to the coast
Before I can see the light
Yeah can I see light?
Can I see the light one more time?
How does a dream come true?
My ocean swallows in a sigh
our fears, our fears
The horror scenes are everywhere
And leave us at the doors of hell
Please don’t cry before you see the jaws
And if you turnaround it’s fine
And if you turn the block you’ll find
Nothing has real eyes
Nothing has real eyes
Nothing has real eyes except for the night
That shows our destiny
Back in time, I wouldn’t even think twice
I’d take my life as it comes
I’d ride the wave as it goes
Against the flow
Someday I’ll leave you and we'll go to live to New Zealand x3
Someday I’ll leave this far behind
Now it’s all behind
[she, she reads my letter in the dark
Into the traffic of a subway
Our wasted is my fault's highway
It's me who pays the toll]
