Funeral Rain Forest
No one's son
I found myself on my own again
And my only home is the city's bench
Used to raise my head from all this pain
But in the face of the wall, I see only the shade
There's in my hands the future I dread
I have left my dreams so far away
Scars on my skin are the only thing I kept
Memories in the sand aren't made to remain
And in my hands, the future will fade
If I can't free myself of my ball-and-chain past
I will walk the road not to be caught
Up by life, but I'll sink in my own void
'cause I'm the no one's son and this is my song
Everything passes me by in this blinkered world
And the tears from my eyes are my orphanage
There's nothing that I have, there's nothing I have left
Love is a cage I cannot enter
And no one could ever carry me in his heart
The fetus in his shell
Should have been aborted
To avoid this pain
There's in my heart a void I can't fill
Without any forebears, how did I get here?
Where do I've to go now? Utterly neglected
My father didn't build me and my mama didn't want to carry me
I searched for one land to make of it my place
And I found for myself a brand new name
I see through my eyes the world's unfairnesses
And I pity the mankind to follow the drawn road which leads to the loss
Quite as a phoenix, I reborn of my ashes
It's only after we've lost everything
That we're free to do anything.
So I take my fate in my hands and I forge ahead
(bis)
'cause I'm the no one's son and this is my song
Everything passes me by in this blinkered world
And the tears from my eyes turned to rage
There's nothing that I have, but I'm not held in a cage
I should find Love you said, I do love myself
'cause I understand that nobody can do it well
The fetus in his shell
Will fertilize himself
To be a perfect ain't
I am the No one's son
And this is my fate
With no aim, I roam
That's the curse I am
I'm the no one's son
Nobody cares
To no one, I belong
I don't belong anywhere
I will die alone
Yes someday I may
Want a mom to moan,
Want a mom to regret
I will die alone
Yes someday I may
Want my mom to moan,
Want my mom to regret
And my only home is the city's bench
Used to raise my head from all this pain
But in the face of the wall, I see only the shade
There's in my hands the future I dread
I have left my dreams so far away
Scars on my skin are the only thing I kept
Memories in the sand aren't made to remain
And in my hands, the future will fade
If I can't free myself of my ball-and-chain past
I will walk the road not to be caught
Up by life, but I'll sink in my own void
'cause I'm the no one's son and this is my song
Everything passes me by in this blinkered world
And the tears from my eyes are my orphanage
There's nothing that I have, there's nothing I have left
Love is a cage I cannot enter
And no one could ever carry me in his heart
The fetus in his shell
Should have been aborted

Yes someday I may
Want my mom to moan,
Want my mom to regret
