Porcelain Heart

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 wallowed in shame!

I said that I love. (eternal skins)
I cling to my past. (like childish dreams)
I promised to stay. (and dwell my grief)
I went far away!

I see roots beneath my feet.
Lead 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.
Grow seven idols, false embrace.
Rest your head now, don't you cry?
Don't ever ask the reasons why!
