Betrayed by the weight of my own heart.
Sink into the gone, the dark, the dark.
If you are too afraid to speak, to speak,
Lower yourself to them and listen to them teach.
Birds laugh in an empty cathédrale.
I take an arrow.
Where is le cœur de la fenêtre now?
The birds, they are too afraid to reach, to reach.
They fly into the dark.
It’s in the dark that I get weak.
Trouvez-moi dans un jardin des étoiles.
Comptez les oiseaux, les oiseaux ne sont jamais tard.
Sous les yeux des arbres, je regarde, je regarde.
Je veux voir un oiseau qui ne se moquera pas de moi.
(Find me in a garden of the stars.
Count the birds, the birds are never late.
Under the eyes of the trees, I watch, I watch.
I want to see a bird that does not mock me.)
