A Thousand Silent Kisses

Streetlight cut the room in half
You sleep facing the wall, where it's cold
I count cracks on the ceiling like old scars
Inches between us, but it’s a vast canyon
Ice melts in the glass, silence rings
I almost touch your shoulder... but my hand shakes
Better to stay silent than break this fragile world


Words are blades, they ruin everything
And I want to keep this moment sterile
Before you wake up and become a stranger

Припев
A thousand silent kisses
On your neck while you don't see
They are lighter than dust, they leave no trace
This is my secret, my mute disgrace
One for what was
The second for what is not
A thousand silent kisses
My farewell, invisible light


Tomorrow you'll ask why my eyes are red
I'll say "allergies" or some nonsense
You'll believe it, you always believe the convenient lie
And I gathered these seconds like loose change in my palm
Because when the sun rises, the magic will fade
And we will wear the masks of happy people again


I scream inside, but my lips are sealed tight!
I love you so loud that windows shatter!
But you won't hear!
You. Will. Not. Hear!
Let this remain my personal hell
To be so far... while being right here!



Припев
A thousand silent kisses
On your neck while you don't see
They are lighter than dust, they leave no trace
This is my secret, my mute disgrace
One for what was
The second for what is not
A thousand silent kisses...


Nine hundred ninety-nine...
And the last one.
Goodbye.
