Forever Once

Sugiro a leitura deste poema a ouvir esta música. É original dos Nine Inch Nails, do álbum The Downward Spiral, de 1994. Conheço duas covers dela, uma de Johnny Cash e outra
de Peter Murphy.

Forever Once

I once lived a hollow love,

The only thing inside was me

And that just made it emptier.

I once flew away from here,

It was only to find out

That I was falling in a well.

There was a colour in my heart,

Painted over a cold grey stone

Made out of your lies.

I once lived a hollow love,

The only thing inside was me

And that just made it emptier.

I was hoping everything,

I was waiting for you,

And that was hoping for nothing.

I know that I’m unfair,

That’s my scar burning away

And know I don’t regret it.

I once lived a hollow love,

The only thing inside was me

And that just made it emptier.

I moved past your fields

Of green and blue and life,

To feel the pain that shines.

You once lifted my love,

But now you breed my hate

Because I was inside you.

Now, I hope you know

That I’ll be forever free.

The chain you leashed on me

Is now completely shattered

And I forever free.
