I can recall myself at the age of four
Awake, crying in my bed, afraid to fall
Into a deep sleep, a never ending dream
You won’t believe what I have seen!
A creature of the next world, now I’m not lying
For two weeks straight, this person stood beside me
Just standing there…
Just standing there!
I’ve witnessed fights, during the dark nights
So I hid myself, in a place beyond sight
A world of my own
A place for me to be alone
And deep within this realm
I left my soul to dwell
Forever there…
Forever there!
My music, my art, my books, my lyrics
Every single work is a letter to the living
My words, my doings, performances I’m giving
Every single work is a letter to the living
My rhymes, my prayers, my time in compositions
Every single work is a letter to the living
My cries, my whys, whatever’s not yet written
Every single work is a letter to the living
Back then I had no one that really understood me
I was that kid with dark eyes, no matter where they took me
I wasn’t healed, nothing could be done
They said: “Deal with it, your son’s just a wakeful one.”
I’m sorry mom and dad, for the fights that we had
For the drugs that I took, for the times I didn’t care
But look where I am now
Look where I am…
I’m still mad as hell, but I found a way to translate
I love the night for silence, that’s my time to create
I found an ocean in my tears, a potion in my fears
I found my rest in nothingness, with Everything so near
Let them hate me or praise me, I remain indifferent
I spend my life alone writing letters to the living
That’s who I am…
That’s who I am! |
