Traces of Sadness (Extended Version)

He walked through the neon night
His future´s ´bout to burn
His face - was a mask of violence
He´d just reached the bitter end
That point of no return
There was nothing left to reach
Just traces of sadness
All the tears remaind uncried
Just echoes of madness
All his fantasies had died
He buried his daydreams
But the nightmares stayed alive
Addictions like a fence
That keeps away your second chance
When the road to freedom ends
Drinks and drugs and all the rest
He walked that one way street
That leads into desperation
And he learned the hardest way
To steel and fight and cheat
There was nothing left to learn
Just traces of sadness
All the tears remaind uncried
Just echoes of madness
All his fantasies had died
He buried his daydreams
But the nightmares stayed alive
Addictions like a fence
That keeps away your second chance
When the road to freedom ends
Deep down in his soul he found
The words he had to learn:
There is no way to return
Just traces of sadness
All the tears remaind uncried
Just echoes of madness
All his fantasies had died
He buried his daydreams
But the nightmares stayed alive
Addictions like a fence
That keeps away your second chance
When the road to freedom ends
When the road to freedom ends
The traces of sadness
Just traces of sadness
All the tears remaind uncried
Just echoes of madness
All his fantasies had died
He buried his daydreams
But the nightmares stayed alive
Addictions like a fence
That keeps away your second chance
When the road to freedom ends
When the road to freedom ends
