Every day this yearning heart
oh where do I start
swims in a grande empty sea
with people around me
why do I feel like drowning?
the shore, where is it?
sinking deeper I’m counting
life, do let me quit
a few of us rather
oh life, let us quit
to escape we gather
high tides wash over
are we insane?
no, we’re sober
drunk in pain
oh life, let us quit
oh life, it won’t
for life, it knows
for every second of pain
a second of joy awaits
don’t quit, wait
wait to see
pleasure in pain
soon you will accept
pleasure and pain
feel it
and
live
