The song you sing is full of pain
I hear it from behind the door
The dream you see is false
It sticks in your eyes as a sore
All your needs are impossible
The path you tread is full of thorns
Your heart is as black as coal
It leaves cinders of hate as it burns
Leave me alone in a dense forest
In its darkness I can cry in peace
Our stars won’t come close ever
You have nurtured love in a disguise
Mock at me as if I don’t belong
To the paradise of love and charm
Let me withdraw to my musty cell
Feel free I won’t do you any harm
