Tonight

Tonight I am singing a rotten melody, 
to lull myself to sleep under the open sky
You throw a stone and it sinks in me,
I am bottomless tonight,
Shallow rivers don't mix with the deeper ones.
I am drowning, your laughter eclipses my anguish
Tonight, I am the voice of the river bank,
trapped in the glass sheets, melted and frozen, 
Oh! Dead lake, if only you could listen to me
Oh! Mad Heart, If only you could visit me, Tonight.
