lyrics

Do I speak the speak or does it speak to me?


What I’m saying here won’t be of any weight or help,
But,
someone has to care for the zeitgeist.


and how did I grow to be so awkward;
is this the food for making things?

Am I a fraud?
Am I afraid?
Everything is effort.


I want the silence but without the mutedness

Too timid for complaints,
the world cannot fix itself
over me
it must be selfish
if this is how the selfish works
I never knew,
as I never asked,
as I was told it was not to be done.
So, I pay

to keep company
away

-- on the forgetting;
Expectation is just
how far the future memory goes,
I wonder how far it must run.


Caught in an empty state
an empty estate
with a room full of sleep
for the tired to keep;

How to live together,
but remain all alone?
How to stay alone,
alive altogether;

Caught up in an empty state,
an empty estate,
could exhaustion dream of fatigue?
