Whoโ€™d understand our tears?

Whoโ€™d think we werenโ€™t our kindness?

Whoโ€™d guess our joy was a void paradise?

๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž

Please forget the sad old days

Sadness is but vanity

Every bodyโ€™s lost in joy

Happiness is a young monster

๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž

We laughed because no one could understand tearing eyes

Our smiles killed us inside

Young humans

Sweetly disappearing on ecstasy

๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž

Since happiness is our sadness shallow

Our world is full of shadows

Endless reflections of the nullity that weโ€™ve become

๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž

Transparent bodies

Apparent faces

Perfect silhouettes

Dark

Even darker when lights are on

๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž

Smiley face is beautiful

Thatโ€™s what my lovers said

When I find no words, I laugh instead

My void paradise is for my lovers

And my heart, a thick flame in my gothic bed

๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž๊Ž

When crying is time wasting

We laugh to chase away fade faces

We canโ€™t handle other peopleโ€™s pain

Sadness is a river that flows inside brains
