lyrics

Ginkgo leaf
play with this illusion for now
Touching you
I embrace the moment: goodbye

The blue walls look at its empty room
the candlelight corner, filled with gloom
and I am alone

The couch is still shaking, oh the fear
the wallpaint is chipped, i bite my lip
a sharp atmosphere

The candlelight trembles, shadows grow
the whole ship is sinking, save our souls
we lost each other in the mess

Afraid of the fire, I burn myself
I push the door again and again
forgetting I hold the key

The music you play when you're alone
calls out of her den my wailing soul
and I mourn our dying love

The ship that sank wasn't my home
'cause I was a siren, I forgot
are you the light above?

The music you play when you're alone
calls out of her den my wailing soul
and I mourn our dying love

The ship that sank wasn't my home
'cause I had my island bathed in foam
are you the dark below?
