english

they all look for me
i want to scream
you tell me: "i want to die"
i tell you: "no, stay for me"

life keeps changing
stay for when it gets better
we sleep for better times
the night is cold
but we keep eachother warm
constellations lead to a new beginning

everywhere i go looks the same
its all insane (its all insane)
new drugs remove every feeling
people dont want to know their brokenness

why do the evil rule? the good are dead inside
they don't want to know from their broken hearts
opportunities of change may not be common
but if the truth is what you desire, lets go, right now

life keeps changing
stay for when it gets better
we sleep for better times
the night is cold
but we keep eachother warm
constellations lead to a new beginning
