Painful Detour Songtext
von Leprous

Time elapsing, storm running out
Sorrowless beauty, ready to doubt
Stronger than ever, weak at the bone
Hide from the open, turn into stone

Underneath a freezing winter all alone
Superficial friendly gesture dead and gone
Spend my days searching places to belong
Stranded in a painful detour
What went wrong?


Massive agenda, shivering ground
Building a castle, foundation unsound

Never suspected this beauty to be
Carving deeply into my stone
Gathering round me, yet feelings dilate
A new dimension of feeling alone

Simple surroundings, complexity near
Not what it seems like, covered in fear


Underneath a freezing winter all alone
Superficial friendly gesture dead and gone
Spend my days searching places to belong
Stranded in a painful detour
What went wrong?
