Traces Of Sadness - Vanilla Ninja

He walked through the neon light

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 remained uncried)

Just echoes of madness

(All his fantasies had died)

He buried his daydreams

(But the nightmares stayed alive)

(Addiction's 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 steal and fight and cheat

There was nothing left to learn

Just traces of sadness

(All the tears remained uncried)

Just echoes of madness

(All his fantasies had died)

He buried his daydreams

(But the nightmares stayed alive)

(Addiction's like a fence)

(That keeps away your second chance)

When the road to freedom ends

Bridge:

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 remained uncried)

Just echoes of madness

(All his fantasies had died)

He buried his daydreams

(But the nightmares stayed alive)

(Addiction's 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 remained uncried)

Just echoes of madness

(All his fantasies had died)

He buried his daydreams

(But the nightmares stayed alive)

(Addiction's like a fence)

(That keeps away your second chance)

When the road to freedom ends

When the road to freedom ends
