Everyday I'm waiting for an intrusion
Of the conscious mind from a past self
To shine some light on me in the darkness
To help me find my way out of this hell
Say farewell to everyone
Dream of a place with no sun
Open my heart to heaven (my heart!)
I find out that there's no room for me (no room for me!)
If I can't make it to heaven (out of my reach!)
I might as well enjoy being free (free!)
Say farewell to everyone
Dream of a place with no sun
"Everyone stands alone on the midpoint of the earth
pierced by a ray of sunlight;
and suddenly it's evening."
—Salvatore Quasimodo
