2. The Obsessive Devotion

Don't you ever blind me

Don't be a foolish thief

-Am I?

Don't you ever bring yourself to grief

Don't you ever blind me

Don't ever trick my mind

-Did I?

Don't you think that you can lie to me

-Did I lie?

Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis

Et mendacem memorem esse oportet

If he is your moon, I will be your earth

To which you can return, safely or injured.

I feel only misery for myself when I

Look through the eyes of someone else

Don't you choke and bind me

Don't be a bleeding heart

-Am I?

Fold then walk away or play your cards

-Let us play!

Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis

Et mendacem memorem esse oportet

If he is your moon, I will be your earth

To which you can return, safely or injured.

I feel only misery for myself when I

Look through the eyes of someone else

I can't even recognize the path which has to be

Taken to enter infinity.

-Don't you dare me

I dare you

-You don't care about me

I care about you

-Don't you touch me

-Liar

Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis

Et mendacem memorem esse oportet

Adoratio permanebit

Quotiens me eges, adero

I prefer to be unhappy with you,

rather than being depressed without you.

I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to

Nothing lasts forever but you, you do...

I prefer to be a lair just like you

To fulfill my deepest desires

I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to

But all that I desire is you

One thoughtless moment passes in slow motion

As I lie down, I realise that...

All I wish is to get rid of this Obsessive Devotion

Venia ad vitam aeternam

Non mibi, non tibi, sed nobis

Hit me as you can

Beat me as you wish

Liar

Fortuna mutual coniuncti

Per tota saecula futura

I have raised myself for you

But now I regret

Venia ad vitam aeternam

This is the end
