Memory Garden - My Pain lyrics

[Words & Music: T. Björn]

Crying eyes, they are mine

Unlike you, I believe I can feel

What have we come to?

Coexisting for what?

Everyday's an insult

Every action is an act of conceit

A dream made me strong inside

But you've torn it apart, and cast it all away

Trying to soothe my pain of loving in vain

What have you gained from your wicked reign

You have lived your life so self-occupied

My fatuity has passed me by

Your words are delivered with erosive spite

Eating my heart out

My blindness must end

I've been under this delusion for too long

It seems like we both will lose

I, my love….you, your life

Trying to soothe my pain of loving in vain

What have you gained from your wicked reign

You have lived your life so self-occupied

My fatuity has passed me by

Now that you lay there dying

I'm devoured by great delight

You were never this warm and loving before

I like you better now

As I watch you fade before me

One last gasp, a frozen gaze

The only eyes that are crying now are yours, and yours alone
