Alone in the night
Do I still know where I'm standing
Once again the fear struck deep
Of being betrayed by destiny
Shaken with the pain of bitter lies I fear
Shadows of what I created to go on
Rebuild this failed existence
Once again
I've lost myself
I've lost all of it
But I'm confident I'll find
Nothing once again
Artificial light
As cold and hollow
As it suits me best
Indeed there is no pain
Depart with tears of joy
There is no beginning
Close my eyes to clouds of darkness I can't bear
I'm falling out of reach, they seem to care
You are so distant
Once again
I've lost myself
I've lost it all
But I'm certain I will find
Some new lies once again
I feel it's late, I'm losing you
Familiarized myself with the thought
Admit I've been not swift enough
To figure out the rules
I dared too much and now
I can't pay
Help me cross the river
Of an unspoken promise I once made
There's a bridge called "say what you feel"
But it looks too unstable too be trusted
I could see you waiting on the other side
For me, I thought, and didn't hear
Your frozen picture in my head
Say "good-bye" while I was paralyzed
Built myself a castle out of sand
For you, I told myself
But waves of doubt swept all away
The towers that were leaning
And the walls around my heart
To leave emptiness
Once again
I've lost myself
I've lost all of me
Someday I'm sure I'll find
Some new bricks once again
