Alışırım Gözlerimi Kapamaya

The world felt so pure when I opened my eyes
I believed in fairytale tomorrows without a second thought

All my childhood memories got lost in the lies
I couldn’t find a hero outside of comic books
If only all my dreams weren’t so rose-colored
I kept asking questions but never got the answers

They always said it was all a lie, just a lie
Those who parted never reunited, fairytales weren’t real
In the streets I fell in love, no one ever spoke
But the city never stopped, it just cried and cried...

If someone could give me one last hope
And say that one day everything will be beautiful
I might just believe in this lie
I’ll get used to closing my eyes

If a path appeared far away, ending under the lights
And angels took me away without surrendering to the dark

The asphalt suffered torture, its cracks filled with blood
How many children’s dreams got lost among the ruins?
Why did people forget themselves, becoming someone else?
How many people lost their lives for nothing on this road?
They always said it was all a lie, just a lie

Those who parted never reunited, the stories I heard were never real
No one stayed as innocent as I thought, the war didn’t stop, death didn’t lessen

If someone could give me one last hope
And say that one day everything will be beautiful
I might just believe in this lie
I’ll get used to closing my eyes
