Porcelain Heart

[Mikael Akerfeldt]



I, lost all I had (one April day),

I, turned to my friends (nothing to see),

I, wrote down a name (and read it twice),

I, wallow in shame.



I, said that I love (eternal schemes),

I, cling to my past (like childish dreams)

I, promised to stay (and dwell my grief)

I, went far away.



I see roads beneath my feet,

Led me through wastelands of deceit,

Rest your head now, don't you cry,

Don't ever ask the reason why



Kept inside our idle race

Ghost of an idol's false embrace

Rest your head now don't you cry

Don't ever ask the reason why.
