ABOUT ME

Everything�s settled inside me,

Widened, narrowed and washed away,

I know well how to lose, how to keep,

And what it means to hit with a whip.

The vice and the thresholds are clear.

I know that my thoughts are not queer,

I know at least what I mean

I step on the ice, it�s so thin.

So scared to lose inspiration,

To fail and to fall into sleep.

And what would I hate? To forget

How the pain made me howl.

When all things around are apart,

When drinking much will look so smart,

A cigarette becomes the salvation,

And endless � the day of vacation,

I want to remember the laughter,

Power of money, shock of truth, and success,

When I am alone in my fight,

Both slave to myself and the knight.

I don�t care a damn what they say:

No one will make me stay � I�m away.
