Testo The Lake - Arida Vortex

The Lake

I feel the moment when the water makes your mouth mute,\nAnd the bottom waves caress your skin.\nIf I am ever asked what I trust in — I trust in you.\nAnd I’ll be trusting you if you come back again.\nI put my arms into the water cold and deep.\nI know I have to go, I should go on and live.\nMy thoughts flash past like mellow leaves.\nWhatever autumn brings, it never brings relief.\nHere I am, looking through the mirror of the lake.\nCome, build the sandcastle with me.\nYou walked into the lake like Alice through the looking glass.\nYou dream your cold dreams in the Wonderland.\nCold is the water,\nDark is the sand.\nBuild half the sandcastle for me.\nAnd suddenly it all goes down on me:\nThe memory of the sun and of distant laugh.\nI know I should turn, go back and look\nIn the eyes of the one I’ll have to love.\nHere I am, looking through the mirror of the lake.\nCome, build the sandcastle with me.\nYou walked into the lake like Alice through the looking glass…\nWith me…
