The stairs lead down,
A breeze blows at the top
Feet glide on their own
To feel the strange thrill
That around the corner in the dark
Like a strange lost dream

Maybe there's a mystery waiting
A treasure buried in the grotto,
Trying not to breathe at all
To close the past gestalt
You find yourself alone
Watching like a movie
At the strangeness of your life
What if--

Racing through the darkness
Plans, hopes, dreams
And you remember when you were
When you were young and carefree
Now you stand alone
And separated from the crowd
You walk down the road in the darkness
Toward the sun
They're behind you
Somebody's yelling: “Stand down!”
They're trying to take a bite
They're tugging at your clothes

You can hear the abusive words
Diagnoses from different mouths
Somebody's running around with a magnifying glass
To find what's rattling inside
To find out what's wrong with him
He's not like the others
We've got to win him over
To lure him into the crowd
When you can't stand it, you run.

The stomping is deafening,
The birds are silent with fright
And the crows don't cry out.
The wind is still on its way
The sun is behind a cloud
- Forgive me
The leaves are dumb

They've taken out the heart,
They whine
A dirty, deaf crowd...
- How thin you were
Fingers in the blood, fingers in the blood.
It was a living hell
