Indeed, but who decided that?

Oh I see;

Would it make sense to say no?

That's what I meant to say

Indeed, I was thinking to blurt no

(It may have been a question of whether

you were a matter for howling or rejoicing)

I will stay alive


Divest! Lose the rest and conquer South by jest

Stand proud and fresh, unfettered from contrive

How else?

That's what I hinted at: I'll stay alive

That's what I meant- I mean to stay alive

Indeed, like staying alone

Staying indirectly; staying indecisive

How but through deeds

Can we move past the needs

Manifesting via words - millions of words -


(As we are leaving, time leaves us

That's what I'm intimating)


Staying somewhere oh yeah

Just fine oh yeah I'll leave

As soon as I do not have direction

As soon as I know it's a problem.

As soon as I am... awful ... Ah

It is a badly smeared foundation

Barely shabby management

Indeed what I was portraying-


(Feeling your potency and feeding equally

Your proportional perversity for skin)


Staying where oh yeah, oh yeah

As long as it is there, ahhh... huh?

Yes, I heard it's a bad habit


(Shall I miss you at the bull's eye

And **** brick-wall instead?)


Building a dynasty of steps

Toward the inevitable clash of flesh-

Yours and mine

Welcome to the Big Shade

******* out of serenade

.... Colours left to fade


(Well it's a bumpy breeze

Maybe what I meant it to be

Indeed to say I will not let you go-

Well at least

That's what I told you so)


Not such a bad, bad thing

You - healing little by little, your adversities for real

It is not like I'll be brittle and

It won't be such a long time

No way- no need to worry

It will not be such a bad thing:


(I. Then no more I.)
