English Adapted Lyrics

----------------------------------
Down on hands and knees, digging a tunnel in the darkness,
I had no idea how far it would continue.
Held fast in one hand, my scoop was dirty and soiled,
Whilst with my other hand I searched out you arm.

I gathered up as one the patches of happiness
And while I was
Sewing them up, I found myself crushed by your strength.

It is burning,
It is burning,
The indestructibly marked scar upon my palm.
Through the red clouds my frayed wings rip,
Carefully searching the gaps from which I can escape.
I am seeking the "me" who can truly fly with success.

Whilst in a cocoon, it was eternity that I drew.
Where will it lay the bud and open the flower?
The denseness of the nigh is gradually endued by morning,
Into its ow sleep that captivate me.

In the light of the moon,
I truely believed that if I blindly searched,
Then soon our arms would lock, our fingers touch, and I'd learn where you are.

It's burning out.
It's burning out.
To our promised place I know that you will not return,
I sprint through the blackened earth,
With a pain so sharp it shatters into my heart.
I am seeking he "me" who can truly fly with success.

And if your scream does not reach my ears,
What I want is for you to crush me in your hand,
Whilst I still have the right to call this broken being "me".
You extended your arm to hold me back, but the it became silent dust,
And I just quietly
Held up both of my hands.
