|
My last walk along the roadway |
|
And the pavements grey |
|
Knowing I've been here times before |
|
I feel it in my deepest core |
|
Now I know there's something wrong with me |
|
But how should I try to flee |
|
The fragile man, the broken |
|
They all are me |
|
An interplay of time |
|
I dare not ask for bliss |
|
I dare not beg a smile |
|
I'd rather die for having this |
|
And I might grow proud the while |
|
These are my last words |
|
A piece of broken glass |
|
I am still bleeding |
|
Unchain myself at last |
|
How senseless are my wishes, yet how great! |
|
All my life shall be drowned |
|
Drowned in one endless childish day |
|
Can't you see there's no answer anymore |
|
So let me decay |
|
I dare not ask for bliss |
|
I dare not beg a smile |
|
I'd rather die for having this |
|
And I might grow proud the while |
|
These are my last words |
|
A piece of broken glass |
|
I am still bleeding |
|
Unchain my heart at last |
|
How senseless are my wishes, yet how great! |
|
All my life shall be drowned |
|
Drowned in one endless childish day |
|
Can't you see there's no answer anymore |
|
So let me decay |
|
I know there's something wrong with me |
|
But how should I try to flee |
|
The fragile clown, the children |
|
They all are me |
|
An interplay of light |
|
Through my glass window shines the evening sun |
|
I don't leave in remorse - the good not done, |
|
My love not given, time torn off unused |
|
The courage was mine |
|
You know for all your faults I'm passing out |
|
To merge serenity on higher clouds |
|
I hear the noise of waters far below |
|
Please let me go |
|
My days run and I'm drifting away |
|
Rest far away from me on my last day |
|
This kind of feelings I know |
|
A new beginning? |
|
I walk on, as if out of my own old life, |
|
As if escaping again into a younger me, |
|
The same me? |
|
I'm unsure. |
|
Seasons change with my confidence... |
|
And there are ways on all sides, |
|
But how shall I turn? |
|
Will I be fallen for the same? |
|
I'm so unsure. |
|
And if I were to turn down to the past, |
|
Would I see her? |
|
And if I were to turn down to the past, |
|
Would she know me? |
|
And if I were to turn quickly enough, |
|
Would I save her? |
|
And if I were to turn quickly enough, |
|
Would I exist again? |
|
This time I know what I am going to be |
|
A traveller, lost in a recurring spiral |
|
Of my own existence |
|
(nothing more terrible, nothing more true) |
|
My days run and |
|
My mind blanks at the glare |
|
My pulse as strong as wind |
|
That curls the flood |
|
Strange how the rain falls |
|
Falls on my hands, my face, my neck |
|
I see myself in mud, |
|
A naked child |
|
All appears new, |
|
Strange at the first but also free |
|
Point zero has already been |
|
Passed before to be |
|
I hear lake water |
|
Lapping with low sounds by the shore |
|
All night I hear them flowing |
|
So I must go |
