Welcome and Departure

A soft wind pets my mind and I can't
Tell you what it's like in my heart
I wish that it was easy to explain
The sun slowly sets and we are
Looking to the West to see dark
On the edge of the horizon coming rain
Rain and corpses on my arms
And withered roses between the scars
Welcome and Departure
Lie close tonight
A soft sigh leaves your lips and I would
Like to end all this if I could
I wish that it was easy to explain
The trees slowly darken, looking somber
Night ceises the garden and I ponder
On the edge of the horizon coming rain
Rain and corpses on my arms
And withered roses between the scars
Welcome and Departure
Lie close tonight
A soft wind pets my mind and I can't
Tell you what it's like in my heart
I wish that it was easy to explain
Silence holds the world on my way to the car
While I wish there was a way to explain the dark
And I drive towards the orange evening sky

Grey skies, dark silhouettes of trees beyond the window, on which's sill I rest my arms
It's foggy, it's misty and the sky bears a thousand raindrops, like this life breaks a thousand hearts
The city stings another needle in its veins, a new supply of cars
People rushing through the stations to the trains with blood rushing through their broken hearts
And I cannot fight the feeling
That I'm breaking my heart
Under concrete-grey skies and fake blue ceilings
I am slowly falling apart
I will never be with you
A red car, a dark thought, these streets will never change. I have thought so so many times
I look on my forarm and see innocent blue veins. These clouds have stolen all sunshine
Birds sing an unfitting song into the rain and maybe this is a sign
My heart keeps pumping sad blood through my sad veins, I and die are perfect rhymes
And I cannot fight the feeling
That I'm breaking my heart
Under concrete-grey skies and fake blue ceilings
I am slowly falling apart
I will never be with you
Autumn is four months away, but summer nor spring are here
You will leave in forty-five days and the sky's already crying my tears
And I wish that I could tell you all of this, about the spells on your hair and your eyes
About the urge to taste your lips, that I have from time to time
And I wish that I could tell you all of this, but I can't, but I can't, but I can't
All I do is giving in to feelings and writing songs about my breaking heart
And I will never be with you

The Passion of Love is a lie, she said
Her right hand on her left forearm
She was covered in a cardigan of a deathdark black
Her T-shirt was a sad pun
Nobody can love without death in the back
Still they all claim to do
But these are the people to whom the concept
Of love will never come true
We stood in the night with the moon in our heads
Because the sky was covered in clouds
In the air the blue smoke of dead cigarettes
And vapour from our mouths
The Passion of Love is a lie, she meant
When she said she had never loved
Of course she'd had boys, who had holden her hand
But these lies were never enough
Her soul was divided and so was her mind
Into longing, desire and fear
Into bodies and blood and those bitter nights
That sad songs cried all her tears
We stood in the night with the stars over us
But they were not meant to be seen
In the air the odour of old mustard gas
And roses from a bad dream
The Passion of Love is a lie, she said
And I know, it was to this Miss
But she must have forgotten all of that
When we began to kiss
Her lips were the softest I have ever known
Her lomging the most bitter to feel
Her loneliness dripped from her flesh and her bones
Onto mine, it could not be healed
