Dancing on Debris lyrics

Answer me one last question,

Before I leave this place behind:

How could you stay with me for all those years,

While living a lie?

I know truth is tensile,

But was it what we had been looking for?

Or could we just find sleep next to each other

Or in sativa dreams?

We just fooled ourselves, it's so damn obvious!

Buildings burn, beloved people die,

Not even friendships last forever!

Sooner or later this apathy will dry up my heart

But I keep on smirking, I keep on dancing on debris!

For so many years the only colours I saw

Were black-white-grey

Every morning I felt like waking up

In raingarden's arms

And when every day ends up like this,

It's self-deception to still hold up hope

Same reason that I take these pills,

Same reason that I drink that much

Your glance is as empty as the feeling I get

While gazing at cemetery walls

'Cause when I look into your eyes

It seems like staring though the eyes of the dead

With the benefit of hindsight

So many things were of no lastly use

But there's no remorse, for me the consequences

For you the guillotine!

I just turned twenty-four and life is still not getting easier

Rather more inverted, it just seems to pass faster

The agitation I feel faces me with no other choice

You met me at a very strange time of my life

Again, these painful memories obsess me and indicate

That this is the last chance to leave the sinking ship

Don't tell me "I love you", who the fuck do you think you are?

Spare me the lies, you don't even know who I am!

Two times I already collapsed in pulling the trigger

The next shot won't be the third, at most the last

You won't succeed in lightening up the sky again

'Cause after drowning the light

The stars are finally dead now!
