Long ago I dreamt of mountains, I dreamt of finding bliss, I lay alone now, unfulfilled I sleep in slime and **** I travelled far, and left my home In search of light and revelation, But neither the road, nor the sky Could sanctify my demons. I sought to pray atop the spire Where the clouds and mountains meet, Though restoration of lost fire, Is a mere idealistic dream. I've had women, but never known love For my impotency defines, I bore not the mind nor matter To obtain what could have been mine. Bitterness, sweet bitterness I make love to my cigarettes, They keep me warm on coldest nights When I am drowning in Solipsis. In cinema, man is changed by journeys But fictions are not always so, For some wounds are beyond healing, And I race now towards Thanatos.

I sought to pray atop the spire Where the clouds and mountains meet, Though restoration of lost fire, Is a mere idealistic dream. I've had women, but never known love For my impotency defines, I bore not the mind nor matter To obtain what could have been mine. Bitterness, sweet bitterness I make love to my cigarettes, They keep me warm on coldest nights When I am drowning in Solipsis. In cinema, man is changed by journeys But fictions are not always so, For some wounds are beyond healing, And I race now towards Thanatos.
