Cotton Clouds (cover)

[Verse 1] Every time the phone rings I think it might be you Every sleepless night I think about writing to you One day they told me: “Fairies exist out there” One day they told me The clouds were made of cotton I thought that was freedom But it was prison bars Now I pay for the sins Of believing in illusion A light goes out In the window of the building next door And nothing feels normal anymore As I walk in silence [Pre-Chorus] You got lost on this street Without knowing the way You point a gun at the void And listen to your own loneliness [Chorus] We are what we can be We are what’s left behind You run, I run in the rain Trying to save what we find The sun rises without knowing Who it will illuminate But even when it disappears It always finds a way to return [Verse 2] Maybe your biggest flaw is perfection Maybe your virtues have no solution So pick up the phone or take a plane Leave behind your scheduled plans Forgive what can be forgiven Forget what cannot be erased Two bodies defying gravity Your name carved into my skin Our light produces no shadows And that still haunts me Where does this madness lead? What logic rules this system? What did the poems once say That no one remembers anymore? The whole city is lit up Yet there’s a desert in every gaze I don’t know where we’re going I only know I keep walking [Bridge] They say there is a paradise They say a world will end They say so many things But no one can prove them Who invented love? Who placed it inside us? This uncontrollable feeling That speaks louder than voice [Final Chorus] We are what we can be We are what’s left behind Dancing against the storm When the world collapsed I see a horizon Even without knowing how to reach it And as long as the rain keeps falling There is still something to save [Outro] Blank pages, colored pages Stories no one ever heard And I drift between smoke and wind Trying to understand who made me…
