in this drunken madness
called "the world"
let's stop for a while
look into mirror
reflect upon ourselves
and ask the same old questions

what does all of this supposed to mean?
what is purpose of all this?
where did I come from?
where am I headed?

as we neared
to feel
the spark again

as we neared
to have
the touch again

as we neared
to witness
the ecstasy

as we neared
to set
ourselves free

we came to know
it won't be found again
what's once lost

Dear future wife
have you lost your mind?
cause if you have lost it
I have lost it too.

In that case
there is no trouble
don’t you worry
we’ll make a great couple

but if you are sane
and still want to be mine
then my love you are
losing your mind.

The sound of that laughter
still echoes in my empty life even after
it’s been so long that it has been gone
don’t cry my poor heart
instead be brave and strong
you are the only thing I've left,
you are the only one I’ve got.

Have you ever been so alone
that even loneliness is not there?
all the world becomes grey
and not seem to care
I’ve been in such a state
for a long time now
doesn’t matter anymore,
life goes on anyhow.

Don’t let it make sense
make it all senseless
the unicorn dances
as the ***** speaks
the true journey
of human soul
and through your blood crawls.

Don’t let it take over
just make it your companion
in the solitary night
where you alone are the champion
of your soul
and ***** sings song
for you alone.

Let it wander in the streets
don’t give it a meaning
just like poetry
or like everything that exists
while ***** sings for you
***** song.

Clouds of smoke,
ashes aloof stand
within your hand
let them all dance
while you in jungle sang
***** song
don’t make sense at all.

I hear the voice of the voiceless.
I see the face of the faceless.
People say I am a raving madman
for I kiss upon the passing breeze
thinking of it as your feet.
