(bruits c♯)

c  e  f  a♭  x 2

c                          b♭
Is that a voice calling me softly?
f                            a♭
Nothing in here is quite how it seems
Is that a whisper's touch on my fear?
Am I awake or lost in old dreams?

  Everything's so cold, the air is so stale
  There should be nothing here to see              + b♭
  Is this a warning? Like in the black book
  There can be no one else but me                  + b♭  c

I see a darker shade of darkness
I hear a shadow hide in the light
I feel a suffocating tension
Within a terrible desire

  Everything's so cold, the air is so stale
  There should be nothing here to fear
  But I am breathing a child's laughter
  Can any part of this be real?

    F5           E♭5       B♭5
    Everything I work for
                 D♭5                     (F5)
    Everything I long for is always just too far
    Everything I hope for never comes to be
    Everything I bleed for burns a scar on me

    Everything I fight for leaves a bitter taste
    Everything I cry for looks into my face
    Everything I scream for barely knows my name
    Everything I'd die for will die just the same

       E♭5      (B♭5)
    In here with me

(mélodie)

Is this the truth of your forgiveness?
Are you the stranger stood at my door?
Are you the end of things come calling?
Are you the answer that I've wished for?

  Everything's so cold, the air is so still
  And there is nothing here but me
  If I belong here, and this is mercy
  Then there's no place I'd rather be

    Everything I worked for
    Everything I longed for was always just too far
    Everything I hoped for never came to be
    Everything I bled for burned a scar on me

    Everything I fought for left a bitter taste
    Everything I cried for laughed into my face
    Everything I screamed for barely knew my name
    Everything I died for died just the same

    In here with me
