Closterkeller - Graphite

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
