about

To Amélia...

lyrics

Yet, I've lost my temper
‘Cause of feelings you can't handle...
Seeking for a lover?
For each one I light a candle
How many rules you've transgressed
Reasoning with you is hopeless
Lies upon lies upon lies
Yet, illusions glow in your eyes

Illusion, misperception
Every desire will keep it glowing
Addiction to delusion
Everyday you'll end up crying
'Till you're remain steady and serene
Tears will flow just like everyday
'Till you're ready to hear what I say
Peace of mind awaits your heart to be clean

No angels, nor demons
Will help you in such a tight spot
So quit misleading questions
And stop yelling at god and devil
Will you understand there's no plot?
It came to your head ‘cause you were fragile
Please believe me when I talk to you
And gradually it might help you through

Your meandering fate
Dancing on the dust
It's almost too late
But you're not at all cursed

Illusion, misperception
Every desire will keep it glowing
Addiction to delusion
Everyday you'll end up crying

React and start fighting through
Can't you see you're in command?
In the sweet palm of your hand
Lies the power you need to

Lost for words in this alley
No matter who I might be
Lover, father or buddy
The rain falls and you're smiley
