and every day
i'll hear myself say
I couldn't possibly
love him more

but every night
thinking of you
I'm suddenly
not so sure

I lied, not by mistake
I lied so you can be happy;

What is happening?
All these drowned and drenched victims.
Screaming at myself.
I am intoxicated.
Still don't know what's happening.

Living in a blur
Along this gruelling vigour
Fearing to finally cave,
Into this loud, obnoxious mediation in rave

Is it just me?
Or is there someone out there with the same plea?
Are we these poor souls adrift?
Craving for this languid plight to shift

Can you feel it igniting?
This seemingly endless longing,
Yearning for that pure and genuine bliss
To rise beyond this infernal abyss

Has it been too long?
Have you asked yourself what have you done wrong?
Although we have to believe that there’s an end
In the meantime put that mask on and pretend

Rain
Dripping down my face
Waiting for the moment
To catch the lashes
That protect my eyes

Sounds of movement
Water ripples
On the pavement
And large splashes
As cars go by

My face lights up
At the thought
Of clean air
And moist ground
And happy
ducks
