here in this cold room, my burnt up dreams piled up in the corner
and across, the empty box of color pencils, so innocently wasted away
in this room, blunt february wind reached inside, from cracks of the window
to the cozy friction between me and my illusions
the roads to the beautiful city of fiction on my notebook
and under the wheels of train of life, got pale, bitter, and real
i remained and so did winter, and walls of this room
and you, alluring stranger
i remained and so did this keychain of naiveness
too bad the lock disappeared in the depth of this concrete city
[chorus]:
don’t come with me lovely, don’t come with me, the closest stranger
tangent to my aimless grey fingertips, i am not going far
but traveling with my failures and isolation needs no companion
the weight of this crossing must not sit on your glass shoulders
don’t come with me, alluring stranger
sky is stubbornly cloudy, but not snowing or raining
sunrise and sunset disoriented in the wheels of daily routine
one night i left the room for a stroll on the quiet streets
counting the pavement blocks
their distance from purpose of my steps
at the end of a narrow alley, before the moon above
you appeared like a simple and graceful accident
i heard you, you heard me, my eyes, your eyes
our names, our breaths, our breaths
i remained and so did winter, and walls of this room
and you, alluring stranger
i remained and so did this keychain of naiveness
too bad the lock disappeared in the depth of this concrete city
[chorus]
