Lyrics
shone
you´re right - i could have done better
but then again - i could have done much worse
I don´t know if i tried my best
but I assume it wasn´t good enough
I once shone like a gemstone
what blinded these reflections
radiant as they were
Is it the dust of time or - like i suspect -
transformation into scrape
repelling miscellaneous lewdnesses
requires such a lot of buzz
the road to amok is just round the corner
no matter where you are
we breath out to breath in
and go away only to come back
I once shone like a gem stone
what blinded these reflections
radiant as they were
Is it the dust of time or - like i suspect -
transformation into scrape
repelling miscellaneous lewdnesses
requires such a lot of buzz
