Verse (0:18)
DmDo you think it's poison? I believe it's a cure
Is it a common point between me and you?
GmAre we defending our idiosyncrazy?
AmAre we maybe thinking we still wanna get crazier?
Verse (0:38)
DmWould it be because, we're in a wrong direction?
Could it be a cause for our too many questions?
GmIs it a shame not to know what we can win and lose?
AmAre we to be blamed for this and for the whole world, too?
Verse (0:55)
DmShould we reject life, in perfect empathy?
Or give everyone time and make it sweeter?
GmWell it seems like addiction to the human weakness
AIt's like a self-restriction to what could be called happiness

Verse (1:32)
DmWe know we need more time, to understand ourselves

Verse (2:28)
DmCan you think of a reason, I believe it's too pure
Too much imagination makes you feel insecured
GmOur backbones are bending, drawing up to the ground
AmOur deepest feelings like joining lips of a wound
Verse (2:46)
DmDo we run along life, ruining it sometimes?
Do we surf on our worse lies, trying to make them die?
GmPreserving our aloofness, pretending not to guess
AmIt's a matter of decision, not a question of illusion
Verse (3:03)
DmAnd we know we need more time to understand ourselves
We are like we are, there's nothing else we meant
