Capital of Loneliness

[Intro] (Instrumental intro featuring sparse acoustic guitar and distant rain sounds) [Verse 1] Rain falls heavy on Ankara, dark and deep Black clouds trace the loneliness I keep Defiantly, I shoulder dreams you left behind Walking Ankara's streets, nowhere to find No wet gaze left, perhaps within my eyes In the falling rain, I wash my empty skies Captive to Ankara's cold and endless night Bitter at the dreams that loved, then took flight [Chorus] Oh, Ankara, where loneliness finds its own strange b**t Though I can't adjust to your absence, your longing sweet I've learned to weep within the void you made Now, once again, tears must be paid [Verse 2] This burden of your absence, I cannot lift As my tears mingle with the rain's swift gift They spill into my hands, whispering your name On Ankara's streets, capital of pain [Chorus] Oh, Ankara, where loneliness finds its own strange b**t Though I can't adjust to your absence, your longing sweet I've learned to weep within the void you made Now, once again, tears must be paid [Bridge] Helplessness, your lack, I cannot embrace This weary, wounded heart, love's capital space Capital of my solitude, Ankara stands The scent of İzmit drifts on winds, on rain-swept lands The capital of my absence, here, Ankara [Chorus] Oh, Ankara, where loneliness finds its own strange b**t Though I can't adjust to your absence, your longing sweet I've learned to weep within the void you made Now, once again, tears must be paid [Outro] (Acoustic guitar fades slowly, rain sounds continue softly before diminishing)
