I opened my hands
And everything slipped away
Like sand too fine
The world slipped away
I tried with my fingers
To catch it
But it's not mine
Now I know
I opened my eyes
To the most blurred words
Attempts of the audacious
Attempts of madmen
I let it slip away
And I learned
To let myself fall
Without any compromise
I stopped fighting
Against the obvious wind
It carries nothing more
But the shadow of my impulses
It's the void that calls to me
No more falling, no more wonders
No more sea or sky
No question of recalling
It's the emptiness I hear
Constantly in my ears
Just the emptiness of the present
Just emptiness, seemingly
And yet, in this nothingness
A shiver remains
The trace of a feast
Whose name I remember
I feel it against me
It no longer has a face
Time will remember
This slow and sad shipwreck
Just letting myself drift
And without any other measure
Abandoning to the past
All these cursed wounds
Just, that's it, I hear it
A draft that draws me in
That adds a little wind
So that I may finally breathe
And in the hollow of the emptiness
I found rest
Without purpose, without prayer
Just the breath of words
It's the emptiness that calls to me
No more falling, no more wonders
No more sea or sky
No question of recalling
It's the emptiness I hear
Constantly in my ears
Just the emptiness of the present
Just the emptiness, apparently
It's the emptiness that calls to me
No more falling, no more wonders
No more sea or sky
No question of recalling
It's the emptiness I hear
Constantly in my ears
Just the emptiness of the present
Just the emptiness, apparently
