Interlude I: Ocean

well there's a room locked up in silence
where my soul it likes to hide
save
deep in myself
away from everyone else

how can I carry this sadness
how can I bear the pain
how come all the worlds changing
while I remain the same
knee-deep in pain

I've changed so often
so many persons in me
sometimes
I don't recognize myself in pictures
who is that stranger looking at me
how come these changes have ended
they seem to have come to a close
how come there's nothing mended
now I'm on the end of the line
descend to myself

caught in a small world
of lost memories
the shadows of lost feelings
this finally seems to be me
locked up in gray solitude

only remnants remain
in this ocean of pain
in this ocean
of pain
