Why did I have to end up here?
Feeling nothing, none care.
I don’t fear death or pain.
I if I only had a reason to stay.

Why did it have to be me
I just wanted to be free
They blinded me and took my world
I no longer hear the sound of the bird
But in the night, as the chilling wind blows by.
I hear the sound of my old lost life.
And just for a second my life aren’t obscured.
A reason to live, the sound of the bird, the bird.

Can you live without a goal
A life with no meaning just fall
I can’t live just praying to die
Cause I have no meanings in life
But in the night, as the chilling wind blows by.
I hear the sound of my old lost life.
And just for a second my life aren’t obscured.
A reason to live, the sound of the bird, the bird.
