Who am "I" As if a personality is a singularity Am I the Pierot walking the tightrope Am I the Ghoul eating dead memory Am I the Well waiting to be fulfilled The Pierot wears a lovely mask that smiles But under it he is afraid of falling The abyss below is one that falls for miles But when he walks or falls he is alone The Ghoul haunts the graveyard and battlefields Knawing at dry skeletal memories Trying to swallow emptiness that will not yield As time passes by in a field of headstones The Well has been polluted for many years By wishes and secret desires thrown in All their secrets and wishes ****** onto its ears It is fullfilled by desires that are not its own Who am "I" As if I could find a singularity As if the Pierot was all As if the Ghoul wasn't starving As if the Well wouldn't poison my thoughts
