Spleen Arcana

The Missing Piece

Do I have changed?
Is there something missing?
Nothing remains the same
I have lost my way

A dead flower reminds me of the day she has gone
Pieces of my heart gently fall on the ground
It’s crazy how a man in love can be such a fool
And now I wonder if something was true

A shade in the rain
Years tell me who I become
I gave everything I had
What’s left for me to carry on?

A postcard and a photograph of who we might be
Scattered pieces of my heart to gather
It’s crazy how a man in love can be such a fool
And now I wonder if something was true

More you hate it, more you feel it
More you deny it and more it is strong
More you stain it and more it will shine
The missing piece will haunt me until I’ll be gone

Reach inside my heart
You may find something to break
So help yourself
Where no one has been before
