lyrics

"Then I walked to the mountain, nothing more to see, unconsciously I climbed a gentle path, I thought about gone opportunities, how time left me behind and I have less every day.
I arrived at the top, and I prepared my rope in the only tree around, I couldn't help but cry, I cried more than I could imagine, I saw through the perfectly tied rope, it was a beautiful day"

Woke up and found nothing to feel proud
Look how your brightest days befog
What one day you started to build
Now is empty and full of ruins

No direction to turn your head
No perception to believe again
No hope to keep your smile
Your path is out of thy light

Everything you had you took for granted
It changed even when you did the rightness
Is it your fault or who are you gonna blame?
Is it too late to start again?

I fill myself with more doubts
About the peace that I feel once
The storm comes and I've watched all
I pray it to kill me and finish all

Like the coward, I was then and I am now
Take my values and tear them from inside
Probe me one more time I don't care at all
if you gonna fail then you don't have to fear


Another day comes and goes
Forever, it vanishes slow
Infinite path shines out of my grasp
Behind me, everything turned grey

I wish to go too back to when I was a child
And the years auguring a possibility
Before a massive void consumed me
and let me here where every step doesn't count

The time accelerates year after year
And happiness is just an ephemeral
moments I keep in my mind as a treasure
and eventually, they're harder to keep

All our smiles fly away from here
"Forever" turned into a tragedy
What was here doesn't exist anymore
And the time that passes is like blasphemy

Tell me where I should go.
Every direction conduces me where I am now
And I haven't more time to spill
If I want that my life has a sense

I'm turning into a monster
Destroying the essence of myself
Making me get afraid of my reflection
And taking me to hurt my loved ones

I got lost fighting against him
Alone inside me, I turned blind
I just hid my tears in my wrath
impotence that has left me voiceless

I'm too far to become the man I've wished to be
I'm too far from turning back and wish something else
The trace disappears with every wasted second
Every day I don't wanna see what I've become

All that's mine is condemned to disappear?
What can I keep close and what shall I quit?
If I sacrifice something can I keep something invaluable?
At this point, did I have something real?

Is there a destiny that is condemning me?
Is there a god who decided to punish my sins?
Because I'm afraid that reality is simpler
And it could be just the price of my mistakes
my mistakes...

Tired of taking this load with me
Alone across the night
Loading my stupid expectations
Of what everything should be

The tears burn my face
til I can't recognize myself at all
The guy in the mirror
Is not the face I can remember

I
took my arrogance
and fears
and set em fire

on
my coldest night
They still keeping me alive
but should exist

another way...
And the night burned
and the world changed
when I was lost

And
the dreams surely died
I couldn't kill
the reality

I shout to the sky
While stars swear me
Waiting for answers in tears but I still continue,
even knowing I'm gonna die...

Ignorance can teach me to live again?
Or only I need to leave my anger behind?
Is the best to try to forget?
Or ignore my golden wasted years?
Is the best to try to forget?
Or ignore?

When the yearning tore me?
There's a path to follow?
There's really nobody around?
Am I one step closer to nowhere?


I quit to show a smile to hide my distress
I need your help to go outside of this place
I try to understand this imperfect world
I'm accepting my life in the absurd

And now I don't care where should I go
I can't change anything but I can move on
I feel free to continue what I've started
Unlearning pointless grief nailed to my back

And I can go anywhere I want
coz there's no path
Can I make something wonderful
or waste my potential?
I was walking with closed eyes along a traced line
A live in fear and regret, I forget I am alive
