Corpus Delicti - Staring (Live )

I used to take the night when it comes
I used to take the night as it falls
My body enfolded in its velvet pall
My bloody thoughts in its foggy call
I used to lay down by the hill
And watched the darkness, standing still
My head in pain among the cold
My hands grazed of growing old
I used to wake up with the moon
Praying for the sun to die soon
Lost in the wake of a brand new world
Burying myself in another birth
I've tried to run through the tide
But always fell before I fly
I used to get caught in the clouds
With blood on my face, with the strangest smile
Hoping for the wind to carry me away
Wishing for the wave to be another day
I used to climb above the walls
Made by the sound of the voices, cold
I used to try to touch the air
But always found a deep despair
Always lost, bewitched by the night
Deep in a black ocean, scared by the night
Now, I'm fed up with staring
At the black sky, suffering
There's a coffin, waiting for me somewhere
With nothing to see inside and no reason to stare
I used to sleep close to the stars
But I've never felt the shining fire
Fighting for the eternal life
Looking for the killing knife
I used to take the night when it comes
I used to take the night as it falls
My body enfolded in its velvet pall
My bloody thoughts in its foggy call
A wake in a gloomy world
With killing mirrors that never glitter
Now, I'm fed up with staring
At the black sky, suffering
There's a coffin, waiting for me somewhere
With nothing to see inside and no reason to stare
And Devil is waiting for us somewhere...
I'm coming....
I don't know where
I close the door...
