There's this black knot inside of me
It can't be cried away
It will stay forever part of me
I accepted it one day
It can't be beaten out
I'm not it's master, not it's friend
Sometimes I think that it has gone
Later when I'm on my own - I don't
Don't you try to ease my pain
I need to brood, I need to cry
Let me rest, let me be
Let me suffer passionately
I'm on a psychologic slide
I'm on a melancholic ride
Walking on a flimsy rope I need
Nothing to fall with these forces
I can't cope
I'm interior and small
At their first opportunity they attack me from the back
Again I turn off the phone
Feel a sudden sense of calm
Don't you try to ease my pain
I need to brood, I need to cry
Let me rest, let me be
Let me suffer passionately
I'm on a psychologic slide
I'm on a melancholic ride
Leave me now, and I will rise
When the darkness turns to light
I'll tackle my day, climb the mountain
Stay awhile, enjoy the sight
Until I slide again
Don't you try to ease my pain
I need to brood, I need to cry
Let me rest, let me be
Let me suffer passionately
I'm on a psychologic slide
I'm on a melancholic ride
It can't be cried away
It will stay forever part of me
I accepted it one day
It can't be beaten out
I'm not it's master, not it's friend
Sometimes I think that it has gone
Later when I'm on my own - I don't
Don't you try to ease my pain
I need to brood, I need to cry
Let me rest, let me be
Let me suffer passionately
I'm on a psychologic slide
I'm on a melancholic ride
Walking on a flimsy rope I need
Nothing to fall with these forces
I can't cope
I'm interior and small
At their first opportunity they attack me from the back
Again I turn off the phone
Feel a sudden sense of calm
Don't you try to ease my pain
I need to brood, I need to cry
Let me rest, let me be
Let me suffer passionately
I'm on a psychologic slide
I'm on a melancholic ride
Leave me now, and I will rise
When the darkness turns to light
I'll tackle my day, climb the mountain
Stay awhile, enjoy the sight
Until I slide again
Don't you try to ease my pain
I need to brood, I need to cry
Let me rest, let me be
Let me suffer passionately
I'm on a psychologic slide
I'm on a melancholic ride
