Amnesia

Pale shadows emerge from the gloom
All I have left is a shaky haze over the dark water
Only a cold fog over the river of oblivion
An ephemeral shelter in the middle of a distant summer
He promised by the unclouded sky
Where all things are warmed by your love,
Where all things are warmed by your care
 
Where are you now? I'm so cold here
The boarded-up house is empty and dilapidated
It would be enough for me to know that you are somewhere
Only the illusion of closeness is all I need
 
Where are you now?
Frost on the wires, paralyzing cold filled all the cracks
I close my eyes and go back there
Where the wind sways on an old children's swing
It doesn't scare me so much, cruel irony
But now I know a remedy for life
A few more drops to speed up the agony
A few more drops to fall into amnesia ...
 
However, the truth is not so important to me now,
After all, no one else in the world remembers,
The body is just a symbol, an identification mark,
You are not next to me, and the symbol has long been dead
I want to swim without opening my eyes
Over the horizon, washed with tears of life
Lost forever in the twilight skies
In the merciful mists of my amnesia ...
