Noah

Silence!

Stopped pendulum of the heart

and breath stopped

The thought is silent!

The word has dried up!

Peace!

... and he guesses everything

The skin is itchy!

The eyes see

al, shut up

... out of foreboding and fear ...

Clairvoyant anxiety!

Clear!

... as if I've already experienced it

... as if I've seen it once before

That dark shadow

that relentless hug

ice wings

Black and white feathers.

I'm silent!

I am a monument without landmarks

I am a signpost in the opposite direction

To drive you crazy

You,

what name no one likes to tell you

You're not welcome to anyone

Never loved

Not wanted by anyone

Hated by everyone!

... and you're female

Like her

from which you take away children

From the Immaculate Conception

until the end of the world!

Noah!

Prepare the boat!

The choice is right!

Leave me

in this eerie silence and darkness!

Take him

to be fruitful existence

... and dead silence

The joys of the song overpower

Win !!!

Can I Buy?

Peace?

Can I buy?

Tenderness?

How much

Attention?

What's the price

Love ?

Don't tell me nonsense

About the freeness of everything

What do I need!

Don't give long speeches!

Don't repeat clichés!

Especially don’t get disgusted

To buy love and attention!

It all costs,

My friend!

All!

You pay with some values

Tangible!

Material!

With money and sacrifices

Checks and credits

With or without cover

With high interest rates

Endurance!

That is the living truth!

No barter!

Extinct!

Peace for peace!

Tenderness for tenderness!

Attention to attention!

Illusion!

And only love reciprocated?

Tragicomedy!

My friend,

Living in the clouds

Feels good!

Short!

The time has come

Some sudden moment

The clouds are parting

And below the abyss

Abyss

The abyss

All of the distorted images

Deception

False beliefs!

If you have the strength

Yes in that downfall

You pay again

You will get a quick credit of love

Which you pay in installments again

And you enjoy cheating!

Or face it

Open your eyes

Well you

And understand!

Everything is bought today!

It all costs money!

And while you're paying,

It lasts!

Survival

No tired hands

songs to write

as I walk through time

rooms of his childhood

from the girls' window

I'm watching old trees ...

Me, an exemplary girl

with stars in their eyes

and two red bows

on thick kicks ...

Unit,

silk covered with love

so that the night wouldn't hurt me

shadow care sheltered

of all the rough touches of life ...

Too crippled now!

But stubborn!

Keep holding on !

On your back the burden of survival!

Carry and keep your head cut,

She grew up overnight, got stronger ...

The tired hand stumbled

He won't draw the song.

Tired!
