To Stone

Lyrics

There was a time
When beauty brought tears to my eyes
And when love really tore me apart
But the boiling magma
That rushed through my veins
Seems to have cooled out
and slowly got hard

Suddenly our misery is just half as miserable
And I am quite comfortably numb
And suddenly lethargy fills up all those wounds
But this is no real cure.

There was a time
When sorrow dug deep in my flesh
At least the marks it left
Could testify: it's real.

Now it's all the same to me
I never thought
I'd ever be so strangely
Unable to feel
Anything

And suddenly our misery is just half as miserable
And therefore it snarls at my bones
But I'd trade this composure for the mess that I was
Before I finally turn to stone.

Suddenly our misery is just half as miserable
And therefore it snarls at my bones
But I'd trade this composure for the mess that I was
Instead of finally turning to stone.
