The Graves We've Dug - Harakiri for the Sky

It happened in December

In the days when things get sad for no reason

Strangers share a drink called loneliness

And this city turns into the coldest place

Then I keep you in mind from time to time

I resist to scream your name out loud

I’m sorry I gave you everything I had

Without making sure you ever desired it

People get tired of being sad, being pushed aside

And then they leave

Even though they promised they would not

And it’s not as if I did not try

But somewhere between being who you needed

And being who I should become

I became a stranger to us both

Teach your heart how to cherish the people around you

Before they depart

You know they surely will

If not by a choice, death steals them away

And you’ll have the remains of your life

To dwell in regrets

'Cause the gallows won’t disappear

And for sure the graves won’t fill

And for sure the graves won’t fill

This is the death of our youths

The requiem to our dreams

Almost thirty summers passed

And dropped down on me like fallen leaves

No, we didn’t even ask for happiness, just a little less pain

Now we sing and drink besides the graves we’ve dug

Perhaps one day we will meet again

Two stars colliding for another time

Recognizing the pieces of ourselves

We left behind in each other’s heart

So search for me in the pitch black night

When the stars hide behind the clouds

And my heart longs for you

Whatever you do, search for me

Steal my heart in autumn

Where I fall in love by time

We roam the fields together

Counting stars and fighting sleep

No, I’m not feeling better yet

It seems I just got used to the words

'Cause the gallows won’t disappear

And for sure the graves won’t ever fill

This was the death of our youths

This was the requiem to our dreams

Almost thirty summers passed

And dropped down on me like fallen leaves

No, we didn’t even ask for happiness, no, just a little less pain

This is where we sing and drink besides the graves we’ve dug

Besides the graves we’ve dug
