Exhausted men of working class
Are you satisfied
Each late night you're about to get in bed
With a stranger calling herself your wife
Just to get up before the sun's tired eyes
Never having a moment of letting go
The hopelessness of fast running life
Clutching in your tiny beaten hearts
The poverty of unfinished childhood
Mixing need with burning hate
Anger with weakness and cheap drugs
You run but this boat is slowly sinking
And kids are hungry cold unloved weeping
Kind words cannot find suitable soil
To be planted in their parents' mind
When nothing's sown nothing blooms
Bringing only destruction to own kind
Only helplessness in moonlit little rooms
Exhausted men of working class
Are you feeling satisfied ?
Or are you so lifeless and indifferent
That you've become dead inside ?

Battleground
Of perpetual motion
Reigns upon calm thoughts
Of devastated soul
Called simply me
Though in fact it's
Wasteland from here
Until the rest of nights
Spent without you

But now
Your presence brings
No comfort

It's of no use darling
I turn off the light
And show you my back

Your tears seem scared and empty
Hush please
Don't you weep

Wait out the morning
And the sun trapped
In its journey without end

Then leave my bed
Since you can't leave my mind
Leave and don't look back

Or show me how to love
Give something that's missing
Cleanse me of sorrow in my mind

I know I know I know you can't
Your heart belongs to someone else
And mine is lost spinning

In the darkening night
When dawn is far
Unreachable to my spirit

It seems that it will never come
Stopping this perpetual motion
Of heart until one is none

Until the war is lost (no strength found)
And familiar hands of sorrow touch
My loneliness on mind's battleground

I don't understand
How a thing such as
Your kiss can be of fun
For
It's a desperate need for
Survival (in the sky
There are thousand burning stars
Watching me live and die
Biting those angel lips)
How can you give it
So carelessly hanging
Like a drop of dew from a leaf
That's just about to fall
In tones of gentle music
I feel your velvet skin
Pressed on my being
In my mind there's only madness
(But my heart is completely still
For a chance to hear yours beating)
Just like fire
Just like love
You make me infinite
You make me eternal

Step lightly
if night invites you
into her silent prison
as gentle wind
fondles naked trees

Tread slowly
if stars offer you
their cruel white hands
to climb higher than highest
that man is to climb

Move cautiously
when the unholy light
shines upon your way
while inferior blindly
to the quiet shadows

Knock gently
so you won't make her scared
(always like tiniest yellow bird
ready to succumb to flight
to make her escape)

Love deeply(love wholly)
for her eyes are
eternal emerald skies
and her ****** mouth
a little taste of paradise

Leave reluctantly
being robbed of sleeping
wait out the light
and let the sad rain
fall down all night

It was a magical thing to
go to that point
where the reddish bus
had its final stop
every 20 minutes trailing
round the block
seven days and every
season’s week

As I got out on the
cold asphalt pavement
leading to your home
my heart slowly stopped
I waited for more
and then you were there
walking towards me
your smile made the whole
world look uninteresting
I was a slave to your words
and a good one I wanted to be
So you with your piercing eyes
would keep talking to me

So you with your kiss of life
would bring some hope onto me

Like an angel of fire
sprang through my faith
as an endless desire

Coming home from
the last stop of bus 66
I feel I miss you
I feel I need more

This is the hundredth cigarette disappearing
In the night through autumn leaves choking
Some hungrily looking thousand stars
I think about you
How I lost path for hollow ends
My mind devastated for suffering
Caused by the darkening truth of soul
Ash falls again on the ground
And hides into the nothingness where I
Linger with it blindfolded as universe
With its eternity of lifeless eyes
Only for the tip of the hundred and first
cigarette the light in my heart survives
Endless disputes and arguments of
How to change what once was
Make us forget about the future
In which only we are free
This is the hundred and second cigarette
And it's closing time as it seems to be
You went to bed (the day is lost)
Why is it that every time I open my heart
Something sharp but shapeless comes out
To **** and devour your alleged hopes
To lie or tell the truth (it matters not)
To take something back
And torture that something with silence
For silence remains around
Taking more space still until
Tomorrow the light will return
With future holding the keys to happiness
Then I'll try once again
To burn your fears
To end our pain

There is a cage deep inside me
There I hide my madness for you
It’s locked and also soundproofed
so your songs wouldn’t reach me

There is a cage deep inside covered
                                                    in lie
There I keep my foolish dreams
and it rattles when I see you smile
