Do not listen to a word I say

Just listen to what I can keep silent

The only way to gain approval

I stare at the sky

And it leaves me blind

I close my eyes

And this is yesterday

I repent, I'm sorry, everything is falling apart

Houses as ruins and garden as weeds

And it leaves me blind

I close my eyes

And this is yesterday

And it leaves me blind

I close my eyes
