lyrics
So suddenly, I feel nothing
The air tastes colder than before
and colors slowly wither from the world
Tonight these street lights lead the way
No such thing as right or wrong
Only chance, only us, only idle weight
Mit oder ohne dir, geht die Welt weiter
Ist es nur ich zu fühlen, das ziehen
dass der Mond auf uns gesetzt hat?
And it’s all eyes on me, all leading up to this.
Just say the word they’ve all been waiting
I’ve memorized these lines and dedicated time to understanding what I mean
But the closer I get to knowing myself the more I feel incomplete
A mathematician struggling to make sense of poetry
Black ink stains my fingertips, smudged prints on paper
Along with a jagged outline of my former self,
Frantically throwing colors and letters to make something unique for anyone to read
I exist, only in my mind,
Somewhere between,
Chaos and frozen skies
I’ve memorized these lines and dedicated time to understanding what I mean
But the closer I get to knowing myself the more I feel incomplete
A mathematician struggling to make sense of poetry
Am I in pain?
How should I know?
Or how can you tell?
Tell me,
And who is to say we experience the same way?
I sink into bliss
Cross-examine the victims
Prepare for the worst
Flashing lights
But they’ll never catch me alive
I have an airtight alibi
Because I’ve been dead inside
I’ve memorized these lies to recite for you
But the closer I get to knowing myself, the more I feel incomplete
A mathematician struggling to make sense of poetry
Am I in pain? How should I know?
