lyrics

I can't remember when I died

I’m floating in a mouldy stream
Rotten pulp of emotion
The demons of the past never yielding from my side
Just changing shape from time to time
The banks seem always near
But I know they are just illusion
And when I close my eyes
I can smell my own decay

Too slow to feel a movement
But carrying me away
Too slow for a direction
Disturbing stagnancy

Floating
In a river cold and damned
Forgotten origin
I’m starving for the end
Floating
To this river I am tied
Feels like eternity
And I don’t remember when I died

It perforates my existence
Too much part of me to drown
Perfidiously it keeps me alive
And I see my own reflection
From time to time

Cold and dismal womb
Protective symbiosis
And after all those years
I’ve learned to love my torturer

Too slow to feel a movement
But carrying me away
Too slow for a direction
Disturbing stagnancy

Floating
In a river cold and damned
Forgotten origin
I’m starving for the end
Floating
To this river I am tied
Feels like eternity
And I don’t remember when I died

Too slow…
But carrying me away
Too slow…
Disturbing stagnancy

Floating
In a river cold and damned
Forgotten origin
I’m starving for the end
Floating
To this river I am tied
Feels like eternity
And I don’t remember when I died
