Say Something

All day I wait for night to come

Hoping I can hide in it

Close my eyes, shut out the world outside

Find some peace, if only briefly

Say something, give me a drop of hope

Say something, don't stay silent

Say something, I keep asking myself

Staring into the deepest part of my soul

But inside there's only weariness and confusion

Because there's nothing left — I'm out of arguments to calm myself

 

Falling into sleep, I see fate's heavy bat

It strikes the back of my head without warning — a ringing blow

I get up, only to be struck down again

Say something, give me a drop of hope

You say nothing, you only watch and stay silent. Watching. Silent.

Why can't my life just pass quietly, evenly?

Why must I always fall into

An impassable mire

I see the heavy, creaking, irreversible turning of fate's millstones

Who is this careless scribe who wrote the script of my life?

Say something, give me a drop of hope

You say nothing, you only watch and stay silent. Watching. Silent.

I turn to God with my prayers

But I see no change.

I took off my cross and melted it into a sign of my own

The icons look at me without sorrow or blame.

Say something, give me a drop of hope

You say nothing, you only watch and stay silent. Watching. Silent.

I have no one left to turn to

No one left to hope in

Inside there's emptiness, I feel like I don't matter — the universe doesn't count on me anymore, I'm out of the game

I let the last cold air go
