[English]

Oh, what a pleasure it is being crashed by the power of thinking

The scents in the air can smell the events

But there's no way to touch anything now

I'm just fascinated by the smoke from this candle

Cure me, you know I would die for it

I would die for it, I would die for it

Cure me, you know I would die for it

I would die for it, I would die for it

I think I'm free from all the stuff I always have to bring with me, yeah

And I swear it's a daily habit not a way to hide something

But still bad enough for me that I'm so blind

I won't take my eyes off the smoke from the candle

Cure me, you know I would die for it

I would die for it, I would die for it

Cure me, you know I would die for it

I would die for it, I would die for, yeah

I just need to love this little bit of madness

It's not a state of mind

And not a way to hide something

It's just good enough for me to enjoy it

Even if can't take my eyes off

The smoke from the candle

Cure me, I just need to be touched by silence and noise

You cure me just with time

You cure me, I just need to be touched by silence and noise

You cure me just with time

Cure me with no words but air, just air, just air

Cure me, you know I would die for it

I would die for it, simply die for, yeah

Cure me, you know I would die for it

Simply die for it, I would die for, yeah

Cure me, you know I would die for it

Simply die for it, I would die for, yeah

Cure me, cure me

Cure me, cure me

Cure me, cure me

Cure me, cure me
