I am a human being
And I don't believe all the things I'm seeing
I got nowhere to hide anymore
I'm losing my way

I am an angel 
I booked in here, I came straight from hell
And I don't know how to lie anymore
I'm boozing to pray

[repeat chorus]
I'm looking back and I can't see the past anymore so hazy
I'm on a track and I'm travelling so fast. Oh, for sure I'm crazy

[repeat bridge]
I was always here in the silence
But I was never under your eye
Gather up your love in some wiseness
For every memory shall always survive
And you will see me
