The way to be
A simple snowy evening, A night all alone
When the stars turn black, Will you still
remember me
A taste of medicine that is your own
When the eclipse comes through
Will you come back, When I am done
Will you sit and cry with me
Steam rises, Contradicting the rain to the sun
And now I am finding, My heart is on the run
And I am destructive, Immune to all of
your devices
One Mountain top, And one life to live
If i kneel down and pray
to something I don't even believe in
Will I still have to pay, And all the roses
die off, and all the spiders crawl in
And someday I will also, After I fell in love
Still remember you and me
