When the Light is Gone lyrics

Was it real Or just a sweet dream? A bird above the sky Calling through the blue Flame and sea Light and air For one fragile moment Everything was beautiful Will you ever forgive me For being who I am? Will I ever forgive myself For what I could not understand? The world keeps turning In an endless now I read those words somewhere Blurred and far somehow Was it real Or only a dream? Was it life Or just surviving? Resilience Or surrender A quiet wound I still remember More than blood More than the perfect bond A little understanding When the light is gone Through Sun and rain We learn what still remains The rest is only hunger Wearing different names I drank a frozen memory Pale and distant on my tongue It tasted like spring returning With autumn in its blood Maybe beauty only finds us When we're too tired to run Maybe forgiveness is a doorway We keep closing on ourselves Was it real Or only a dream? Was it love Or just the need for meaning? A tender light A bitter weather A broken self Still asking to be better More than blood More than the perfect bond A little understanding When the light is gone Through Sun and rain We learn what still remains The rest is only hunger Wearing different names Forgive me For the shape I became Forgive me For hiding from my name If I am only passing Let me pass with open hands If this is only living Let me learn to understand Real or dream Life or existence Love or grief Forgiveness or distance I am still here Breathing through the ache Trying to hold What does not break More than blood More than the perfect bond A little understanding When the light is gone Through Sun and rain We learn what still remains The rest is only hunger Wearing different names Was it real Or just a sweet dream? Flame and sea Light and air For one fragile moment Everything was beautiful
