darkness coming from the sea
people around me see through me
it’s getting so hard now to be
who I wanna be.

echoes blasting from the past
the world before me slowly cast
a woman’s voice inside me starts
explaining that:

what I see is just a lie
ain’t no use in wondering why
the truth is not for me to know
I’ll just have to let it go (ooh let it go).

black rain falling from the sky
people around me standing by
it’s getting even harder now to try
to be anyone at all.

black rain’s gonna make a mess
ain’t no kind of blessing or curse
the truth is not for them to know
but they’ll never let it go (please let it go).

black rain falling from the sky (darkness coming from the sea)
people around me standing by (people around me see through me)
it’s getting even harder now to try (it’s getting so hard now to be)
to be anyone at all.

what I see is just a lie
ain’t no use in wondering why
the truth is not for me to know
I’ll just have to let it…

I just wanted to say that this is beautiful, and it deserves far more attention than it has gotten.

Από τον πρώτο καιρό που δουλεύαμε το τέταρτο κομμάτι του EP, είχαμε καταλάβει, με τον +Chris Christodoulou και τον Christos Spirakis, ότι έπρεπε να είναι αυτό που θα έκλεινε το άλμπουμ. Αν το ακούσετε μέχρι το τέλος (πολύ περισσότερο αν ακούσετε όλη τη συλλογή), νομίζω θα καταλάβετε γιατί.
