I Have Seen My Soul Lyrics

"experience is simply the name we give our mistakes" (Oscar Wilde, 1854-1900)

People die of common sense, dorian.
One lost moment at a time.
There's no hereafter.
So make it burn with the hardest flame
Am i to fade?
Am i to share this fate?

I have seen my soul
It's rotten, black as coal
For all i see is decay
Take a look, take a look
At the picture of dorian gray

How sad it is, i shall grow old
If it only were i who's to be always young.
And the picture grows old.
For that i would give everything
I would give my soul for that.
I can assure you.
Pleasure is very different from happiness.

I have seen my soul
It's rotten, black as coal
For all i see is decay
Take a look, take a look
At the picture of dorian gray
