no,
you can't be told the truth
and
not despise the fool
telling you
failure
might look like a crown
that
no shame comes shattering
when
little liars ask for help
and
keep on looking down
we
thought you're funny
but
who you wanted to impress
at
all your dull jokes and your vain pains
failure
might look like a crown
that
no shame comes shattering
when
little liars ask for grace
you
believe you're heard or think you're seen
by
anyone you have never been
all
the boys
you
poked fun on
they
never deserved
all
the mercy that you crave
In
your quest for grace
you
entertain us when you fail
your
helplessness may just seem cute
but
don't tell us what you think
is
due, 'cause we know, not you
one
day
we
will
what
I asked for
it's
all I asked for
call
me a fool
a
disgrace, to neglect
call
me a waste of time
even I don't respect
from
time to time
it
seems nice
once
in a while
to
meet
and
discuss the latest films
still,
from there to call you
my
friend …
without
any added flavour
can't
tell you what we came here for
cooks
and waiters do not see
how
bored we get, frequently
no
matter how many texts you send
can't
you, my friend, call again
when
I need help
then
pour
stir
serve
and
call me
when
I need you
when
served a lack of taste
packaging
and time to waste
like
an instant friend for sale
to
open up and close again
call
me when I need you
then
walk away
again
left-over,
waste and additives
boiling
oil with
If
I were the reason
that
you turned gay
there
is no treason
I
must get away
it's
archery, not fencing
it's
the bull's eye, not the move
it's
a shoot out, not dancing
it's
what you riddle, not the groove
it's
only archery
it's
always archery
I
was your roach
I
was your burned-out fuse
you
took aim and broke
the
bow I couldn't refuse
it's
only archery
it's
always archery
it's
archery, not fencing
it's
the bull's eye, not the move
it's
a shoot out, not dancing
it's
what you riddle, not the groove
it's
only archery
it's
always archery
you
wanted me to be your roach
you
are the reason
I
will cry, and bye,
goodbye,
my beast
bye, goodbye, my beast
when the mists of passion
obscured and overcast my mind
irrigated with longing sighs
in
the infertile soil of ignorance
were
the sterile seeds of pain
something
dragged my unstable youth
down
over the cliffs of fruitless desires
and
plunged me into a gulf of shame
your
anger came upon me, and I knew not why
I
had been deafened by the clanking
of the chains of my vanity
I
knew not why
and
I wandered far away from you,
and
you would never care
where
shoot
the
sterile seeds of pain
and
I wandered farther from you still
into
sorrow's barren fields,
where
grow
the
sterile seeds of pain
I
was tossed to and fro, and wasted,
and
you held your peace
and
never knew
how
grew
these sterile seeds of pain
Help me
Help
me
talk
to you
Hear me
Hear
me
walk
behind you
Now turn around
notice
me
open
up
and
speak up
and
speak up
Now turn around
Notice
me
Open
up
Speak
up
loud enough
louder
I
wanna hear
Every
word you say
louder
loud
enough
I
wanna hear
Every
word you say
Near me
Near
me
you
were
Where
did you go?
Where
did you go?
I sleep in front of you
Notice
me
Open
up
And
speak up
louder
loud
enough
I
cannot hear
Can
you handle me?
much to shout about
at a reduced prize
DIY
try, dry out
average custom
expectations too high
DIY
try not to dry out
failure is getting no prize
furniture to match my life
freedom of choice's on offer
mid summer sale
practice of disapproval
knuckles you down
average customer
a cliché or a clown
i*** and norm to
knuckle you down
failure is getting no prize
furniture to match my life
what do you think is average,
no, it's not true,
average is what less than average
do
average custom
expectations too high
try
failure is getting no praise
so buy yourself a car
furniture to match my life
green
sea
under
commanding clouds
black
plumes
left
on tattered bones
carved
by so many claws
made
this moor their
home
Maureen
went wandering
across
the deep red fields
between
dark slough
and
the enemies we knew
once
again
the
morning light
shines
on
remains
of love
nameless
here, and gone
come
here, be nameless now
Maureen
went wandering
to
feed the stately birds
between
bad dreams
and
the treason I had seen
images
made of memories
unsure
of what they mean
unheard
of, never seen
but
still, but still
coming
around again
coming
to reap again
coming
to pluck again
and
leave her
she
will lie forever
I
want her to lie forever
and
flee to the green sea
green
seas
An
argument that lasted days
Who'd
be the first to change his ways
We
might keep on trying for years
I'm
afraid, it had to end like this
With
half of
Behind
a glass of cognac
Too
many hostile people
Tout
ensemble devient impossible
I
will see you, not see you soon
Nothing
will change despite new rules
With
all this segregation of needs
Être
ensemble devient tout impossible
Don't
believe me when I smile
After
all, it's just not interesting, anyway
It
all means nothing to me now
shall
I leave
After
all, it's just not interesting
One
could tell right away
I
was just not interesting enough, any day
I
need a rest
it
won't happen
will
anybody see
the
panic I feel
just
to think the sun
will
rise again through the rain
force
me to run
on
the
best I can think of
is
running away
the
worst I can think of
not
keeping my head
from
a desperate start
to
an embarrassing end
wherever
I tread
all slipping wet
can't
keep direction
objections
whirl
all
over my head
repulsion as well, because
I
have no clue where I'm running
to
sleep remains my only wish
can't
face the pictures
I
paint all by myself
they
laugh at me, not kept at bay
I
have lost sight
of
all I love
still
the rain pours down on me
blurs my vision,
I
can't see
the wall I'm going to crash into
they
say no place is evil
well,
this one is
they
say no place is evil in itself
this one is
ugly
people in ugly houses
chat
with cruel mothers of
bad
pupils beaten up daily
by mad teachers and drunken dads
nasty
trees by wicked roads
where
brutish sods
steal
my bike and kick my groin
week
in week out
no
train at the station
stops
to get me out of here
but
three graveyards
waiting,
lurking constantly
toothless
hags upset
by
the song of the birds
blame
me their husbands spend
all
their money on booze
you
say no place is evil
well,
you've never come here
they
say no place is evil in itself
this
one is
being
young is a crime
a
crime to be read
to
know, to count to ten – a crime
to
walk up straight - a crime
not
to spend your time
getting
your hair torn
just
because you don't want to be born
and
I don't
not here, anyway
do
you really think
you
can presume what I want
do
you really think
you
know what is good for me
what’s
good for me
why
not if we told you
why
not if we know
if
I don’t comply with instructions
never
explained, left alone
given
no map
not
written down
changed
all the time
do
you really expect me
to
know what’s right and where
do
you really expect me
to
know what’s good for me
would you respect my choices
if
I did
exposed
in a fix
marooned
bit by bit
gather
the pieces
find
it
fix
it
what
has been broken,
find
it and fix it,
all
up to me
all
up to me
crouch,
and come on in
open
the door on your knees
translucent
paper shields no wind
yields
no warmth to me
slide
the door on your knees
and
hold me in your arms
a
shadow ‘tween rays of light
a
space between two rooms
a
threshold from the street to my home's room
for
bride and groom
step
into my home
step
into the twilight
made
of tears and joy
unwinding
day and night
we
hide from the street
step
into the green
collect
the leaves
and
wonder at the stones
your
father laid
my
father chose
your
father laid
my
father chose
as
we reach the core
let
us stretch out on the floor
on
the floor, on the floor, ...
top
sadness lingers behind glass
eyes once radiant must be closed
eyes once radiant must be closed
seen
through, to be looked at
seen
through, to be watched
standing by the window, checking her purse
she didn't imagine, it would still get worse
seen
through, to be looked at
seen through,
to
be watched
meet her at sunset
mirrored in glass
sadness lingers behind glass
once unbreakable, now to be cleaned
see
through, she is looked at
see
through,
she
is watched
to a passed-by
see the passers-by
when she passed away
to a passed-by
meet her at sunset
mirrored in glass
whatever
you want me to be
whatever
names you give to me
sit
here, talk here, positive thinking
I
want to get up and leave
stand
up and walk away
is
all I want to do
I'll
be fed up one of these days
and
I’ll quit talking this through
you
never want to be alone
well,
neither do I
but
being with you is being alone
and
bored too
you
want to sit down and talk,
as we
often did
did
we?
I
want to dance where you walk
shout
when you talk
move
on where you stop
to
stare
be
rude when you're fair
you
can't get rid of the things you trust
I'm
going to tell you something new
I
think
you
never want to be alone
neither
do I
but
being with you is being alone
and
bored to booth
I
want to fly when you walk
sing
when you talk
be
the one that makes you stop
to
stare
write
the rules when you're fair
and
crush on the runway
no,
I won't care for your
reality
no,
I won't care for my
fragility
no,
I can't listen to you,
honestly
whatever
you care to say to me
whatever
names you call me
I
don't take heed,
get
up and leave
I
wish I could call you
it’s
one of these days when I doubt everything
I
wish we could still talk
can
you remind me, why we did not work out?
I
know I was the first to leave
if
it’s any comfort to you
it
doesn’t numb the pain
we
can not call, nor talk
I
could change my number
and
you’d still have half of my heart
half
of my heart
why
is it so hard ?
they
say every addiction needs a surrogate –
why
is it so hard?
you
are my worst addiction
I
wish I could let you go
(but)
you seem to be with everyone I get to know (meet)
I
know I was the one to walk away
if
it’s any comfort to you
it
doesn’t numb the pain
we
can not call, nor talk
I
could change my number
and
you’d still have half of my heart
half
of my heart
we
can agree on silence
you
could move to another city
and
you’d still have half of my heart
half
of my heart
a
long time ago
you
told me how it was
but
I wanted to know with who it was
I
forgot how to get a hold on you
useless
anyway, you're already far away
some
time ago
he
told me how it was
but
I wanted to know with who it was
I
forgot how to get a hold of her
hopeless
anyway, you're already far away
gone
the days, they fade away
with
time enough to start again
back
in the land it all began
just
the other day
I
told him why it was
but
all he only wanted
–
was to catch the bus
didn't
mention a day
looked
at his watch
and
we won't meet again
useless
anyway, you're already far away
