lyrics

If you bid farewell this season to reprimand my selfish cries
I’ll commit these acts of treason and mutilate the mastiff’s eyes
And I know before you say it, I foretold those solemn words
Here we go, our lives imploding, fortunes read and futures blurred

Silence reached its peak by morning: the muted dawn, no rooster’s crow
Falling with an inward folding, darkness fades but nothing grows
Can’t fulfill this peasant’s promise of a year of pleasant rain
What I feel, I cannot show it, an exit strategy remains:

Searching for my escape hatch
Perseverance fading fast
Life with me will never last
I always find my escape hatch

What we built, it now is ending: an impossible scenario
All that’s left is to kill the feeling of regret you can’t console
I cannot fulfill my promise of a year of pleasant rain
All I was, you’ll never know it, everything was all in vain

Searching for my escape hatch
Perseverance fading fast
Life with me will never last
I always find my escape hatch
