SID - Soumatou (Revolving Lantern)
Dark And cramped Mine is a Difficult world
And not you Not even you Could do anything to help
Ceaseless rain Endless nights Now that I'm used to it
I've chosen to run from it all Today
The sunrise Will scorch And burn away Every trace of me
Writing these Words of apology was The least And last thing I could do
Frail And delicate Mine is an Empty world
And not you Not even you Could do anything to help
"Are you okay?" Words I chafed Into a permanent wound
Having long Forgotten The face that went with them
As the revolving lantern's Set afloat in the air I bite the life out of The last fragments
Remembering The days when I was young And the day I threw My smile away
How many times Have I shouted From here?
Don't forget That tiny voice you heard
As for my footprints On the path I've walked up till now
Bury them With just a few Tear-stained faces
The sunrise Will scorch And burn away Every trace of me
Writing these Words of apology was The least And last thing I could do
As the revolving lantern's Set afloat in the air I bite the life out of The last fragments
Remembering The days when I was young And the day I threw My smile away
This is a revolving lantern.
And not you Not even you Could do anything to help
