Melancholy, to feel nothing but sadness 
A normal room once bright turned black and silent 
Alone, to hide and discover my visions while awake 
These dreams appear in front of my eyes 
What could have been, to see the better world 
Creation of a false happiness, a pretend paradise 
An artificial rapture, live in this world instead 
I trade my tears and blood, hoping this world will become reality 
Failure, the real world becomes more painful every day 
I hate this, an addictive urge to keep feeding the circle 
Complete despair, eternal nothingness,  
This realm of false joy is my only sanctuary
