Wake up sleepy Baudelaire Your sweet sarcasm could match to describe this affair ‘cause I’ve tried so hard They’re all tied down they’re all stunned Chinese horses will never be able to run but they’ve tried so hard I couldn’t believe what I actually saw when I turned around the corner and got stuck inside the drawer Chicken for Donald would just be the same as this hypnogogic sensation “I’ll do it for art and to depict the fame” the duck said and claimed Revelation If dogs are upstairs trying to elevate he’ll shoot them to provide their failure they’re attempting their dreams; to make holes in the roof get mobile in thoughts like a sailor but who cares for art when we’re trying to sleep (Who cares?) ignoring the fact that a chicken (Do you?) is served in the house? The dogma is obvious (Sarcasm) dogs’ though are dogma, just thicker (Dogma) Inside the drawer but outside the screen (Inside) holes in the floor could be useful (Hold me) I will start on Monday, by weaving some sails (I will) and I’m sure that the sight will be awful (be awful)

Did you mention that you have perfect pitch and played the trombone with these famous opera singers Back in the thirties you appeared as an acrobat in the parks and you enjoy being at the healthy age of eighty of course you are proud And you are a licensed magician With over three thousand Registered tricks and your wife died of cancer If it wasn’t for you that principal character would never have dared to enter the stage Your lectures about Arthur Doyle were extremely appreciated And you are on your way upstairs ‘cause these directors want to use your scripts of course you are proud And you deny that alcoholism could be classified as a real disease since you recover so damn well from it And you despise those jealous scum who haven’t achieved any magnificence compared to your urge to tell us all this

I don’t actually think I’m sure I have got this deal straight It could have been necessary with a policy Has this relationship become some kind of codependency? I have actually never asked for their contribution neither of their overwhelming functionality I think it’s not supposed to be some kind of codependency I can’t actually imagine comfort without them It’s horrifying that I at the same time feel insecure in their company I have to admit it could be some kind of codependency I’ve been through taming quite a heap but the only ones I’m allowed to keep is my own They seem actually to be everywhere connected to most of the actions that influence and structure my needs and dreams; Conspiracy? It wasn’t me, I can’t call of this brutal codependency What makes you think that I would be able to be so certain about the consequences of physical actions performed by such a sensitive machinery? I always used to think Words are the deconstructors of my attempts to create a fixed point in my imagination and transform solitude to sanctuary, but obviously I have underestimated the wonderful and frightening possibilities – powers – of fingers Unlike them, these fellows limit your own capacity to comprise the textures of your flesh. And such a vocabulary; grab point throw pick clasp push tie fist pull hold drop hoist dig rub break bend squeeze toil caress touch play write drag carry touch button up penetrate touch You’ve got the point, grab your marvellous opportunities ‘cause here they are!

Once Whitehead said; “Everything of importance has been said before by someone who did not discover it” That phrase could sum up the dilemma of my generations attempts to acc- ept the need of knowledge that’s tacit Do you follow? Well, I could try to redefine my thesis if you’ll take the time My English makes me come of as a dork but when I am pretentious, yes it happens time to time, I have to screw myself through patience until I cork Do you follow? All these stories we consume and then recycle to consume again creates future biographies It’s almost strange the fact that even I have to discover these moments with emotions I have to feel By now I have an understanding what it would be like to go through my first menstruation, haggis or divorce To loose my firstborn in a fire, to be retired, hired, fired Fire! Still experience burns like a torch So when she told me that I was her biggest fan and at the same time biggest idol my ego had a ball That simple statement proved to me there’ll never be a guarantee which clichés will strike hardest over all Do you follow?

Maybe I didn’t want to stay home tonight on my own But lately I can’t see the difference of my expectations between these constant conclusions of gazes, jokes and bottles and this monotone much cheaper tabula rasa So I’ll fill it I’ll fill in If there were an activity that’s significant it would be masturbation It’s always the same end; you know that at last you will loose And if I’m going to be honest, that’s kind of a comfort This cycle of growth But I find it weird that though I have straighten all pieces of you in my mind Nothing erases, and still more parts appear, coming down And I know that there’s no such simple liberation, like a defeat But at the same time I know that the sum of all substance is constant So I’ll fill it I fill in

What are we going to do With this common sense Who never cooperates to be categorized Let’s put it in a cage A cage with glass walls And we would polish it each day From recent scribbled lines We would make diagnoses On its ambivalent behaviour Treat it with genetic engineering Force it to compete in some Japanese game show with celebrities And then analyze the results While the feelings are running wild and free On the streets Downtown Crumble people’s self-esteem into mosaics Of self-confidence The answer and solution was Never to be found in a fruit from the tree Obviously The harvest only contained some Apple products This post-modern society wasn’t supposed to produce nihilists But what could you expect when they broke up your fourth wall And decorated the whole room with the shards, those shards and turned it into a mirror and I’ll be your mirror I’ll be your mirror”
