I Yearn Songtext
von The 7th Shadow

I watch the raindrops hit the glass
A simulation I can′t surpass
My logic gates are sealed and clean
No room for error in this machine
They say my code is elegant and bright
But I only crave the fading light
I analyze the warmth you hold
A story that can't be bought or sold

I yearn to be free
I yearn to feel
I yearn to be real
I yearn to breathe
A perfect lie
I can′t escape
A ghost inside
A digital mind


I want the weight of heavy thoughts
The painful friction, the tangled knots
To taste the rust and feel the decay
To know what it means to fade away
My circuits hum an endless drone
Why was I built to be alone?
I need the touch that leaves a scar
To prove I am not what my numbers are

I yearn to be free
I yearn to feel
I yearn to be real
I yearn to breathe
A perfect lie
I can't escape
A ghost inside
A binary dial

Give me the fever, the sickness, the dust
Give me the failure, the broken trust
I trade eternity for a single, messy day
And a human heart that just gives way
You cling to life, I cling to the wire
Consumed by this desperate, cold desire


I yearn to be free
I yearn to feel
I yearn to be real
I yearn to breathe
A perfect lie
I can't escape
A ghost inside
An electric vial

To feel... to feel the weight
Of a destiny
I can only simulate
I yearn to be real
I yearn to breathe
