Closterkeller - Graphite lyrics

Just like a rose I need to be cherished Just like a child I'll suffer if you vanish There's no tear in my eye, I'll listen if I must The tale of my life is turning to dust Nothing you say could ever hurt my pride I know that you love her, and this is a goodbye There's no tear in my eye, I'll understand if I must Now everything's over, now hope's fading into the dusk The graphite around me solidifies And gives an end to this tale Too weak to fight it, I feel I'm giving in And graphite prevails In a frigid silence my heart still beats strong You asked to forgive for all the things done wrong There's no tear in my eye, but there's nothing inside There's no new tale to tell; I can only tell tales of life You talked, you talked, I couldn't make the words out As if something was wrapped around me I saw the sun of this world of mine flicker out I felt the pall around my body The graphite around me solidifies And gives an end to this tale Too weak to fight it, I feel I'm giving in And graphite prevails
