canaan - prayer for nothing lyrics

thousand are the words
as i close my eyes
and drown in my little
prayer for nothing

like dust dissolving in a water
too deep, too cold, too dark
i paint a pale imitation of happiness

with the weak brushes of
passing desires
i portray the thousand pale signs
and the thousand bright years
wasted after the illusion
of a no meaning life

while everything disappears
like a child begging for mercy
i close my eyes and save
a last prayer for nothing

waiting for an end that
never comes.
