We were a strange dream in the night Your eyes are a desert in the shadows Your voice is an echo That cuts my chest I tried to understand How to bring you back You acted As if I didn't exist Like a shadow That melts by the fire I was an addiction I was your warmth And you left us as dust and sleep My soul is a ship aground You destroyed the waves You destroyed the days Your tone is icy Prickly Like steel You leave And I remain in sorrow I was fire Burned for you But you smothered the flame Without a word Silence is a knife That cuts without words And this strange dream—there are no more dreams You acted As if I didn't exist Like a shadow That melts by the fire I was an addiction I was your warmth And you left us as dust and sleep
