[English]
I've been killing my heroes little by little
As if I had
No more lessons to learn
...
I am a contradiction
And it slips from my hand
To make everything I say
Make any sense
I wanted to get lost out there
Pretending really well that I never needed
A place of my own
Memories
Are not just memories
They are ghosts whispering in my ears
Things that I...
...
I always give my best
And I know that only then maybe
Something moves around me
I'm going to tear you apart
Every time I remember
Where you've been without me
Memories
Are not just memories
They are ghosts whispering in my ears
Things that I...
Memories
Are not just memories
They are ghosts whispering in my ears
Things I don't even want to know
...
I am a contradiction
And it slips from my hand
To make everything I say
Make any sense
I wanted to get lost out there
Pretending really well that I never needed
A place of my own
Memories
Are not just memories
They are ghosts whispering in my ears
Things that I...
Memories
Are not just memories
They are ghosts whispering in my ears
Things I don't even want to know
Don't even want to know
...
