I saw a future standing
 before my weary eyes.
 reformation of life,
 grasp or decay.
 Frightened by light,
 this opportunity escaped.
 Lonely and cold,
 hiding from daylight.

 These burdensome longings
 tearing me apart
 I hold my breath
 to stay alive
 I'm lost in confusion,
 stranded on air
 I remain in despair.

 Waiting in silence,
 hiding the pain.
 I enter nightfall,
 never left any trace.
 Only memories of what
 could have been remain.
 In my secret plight.

 These burdensome longings
 tearing me apart...

 Through the sorrows of
 my life I slowly realize.
 My longing, my desperation
 can not be cured.
 Before the pain in my heart
 has been tread apart.

 These burdensome longings
 tearing me apart...

 No one ever saw me gleam.
