Black Sadness

Yael shamilov 2005 (Haifa)



Black like the night
A dark space with no light
Every star in the sky disappear
Room without any windows near
Nothing anymore is clear

Alone on your bed
Your thoughts showing up again
Inside you are almost dead
Asking what did I do wrong back then
Who hurt me and when

I want to escape
Afraid to be betrayed
Afraid to escape
Before the feeling will fade
I want to escape
And never look back

They are small but a lot
it's better to get hurt from a shot
A little scar forever will stay
A colorful world, but all I see is gray
Why I can't my soul fill with clay

I feel like crying
The tears aren't flowing
Cry to a friend
Fall on the sand

I want to escape
Afraid to be betrayed
Afraid to escape
Before the feeling will fade
I want to escape
And never look back

My soul is a mess
I feel like trash
I want to confess
But all I can say it's nonsense
