Eternal Youth - Thränenkind

It’s so long ago, that I shouted laughing at the rain

It’s so long ago, that I fiercely dreamed of getting lost

How many senseless years will I waste once again?

How long will I sleepwalk into a life of duty and pain?

Everyone is just sick for something called «fun»

Which is in fact just a way to flee our meaningless lives

Can I demand back what we sold so recklessly and for a rock-bottom price?

I’ve had my moments — but I would have liked for my life

To have been nothing but moments, one after another

But I will never loiter in late winter again

When blooming spring is blossomy in the air

Forgive me, sweet innocence
