"You're a mysterious human being
For all your vitality turned in on yourself
And maybe I have never attempted to understand you..."

I don't [bad word] in the sweet silence
Snakes revealed their very [bad word] 
Take me for sick
Save me from mine
 [bad word] closer
My thorns entwine
In that mania it grows stronger
I am tired of self-test hunger
Take a spoon now
Just taste my spine
 [bad word] it slowly
Its taste to refine

Once I've been a happy clown
But my smile turned upside down
Just like one and two make three
I [bad word] irony
I'm the one whose name I bear
Hang around and just don't care
Unsure how to live among
All these tender psycho-drones

How I long for ancient dawns
Crazy sessions at the bar
 [bad word] therapy
Intoxicated ecstasy
Progress filled the open space
Murphy's law in any case

How could I dare to leave the children?
Why could I never keep hold of your arms,
...of your dreams?
What wrong has happiness done to me, my friend?
None! (I never saw the lie)

Why the silence?

How could I dare to leave the children?
Why could I never keep hold of your arms,
...of your dreams?

I will never be the sort of a special friend
I could never let you go, not until the end
(how could I dare?)
Do my fingers jam around for a distant sun?
Will I ever [bad word]  leave the sick undone?

What wrong has happiness done to me, my friend?
None!
I will never be the sort of a special friend
I could never let you go, not until the end
Do my fingers jam around for a distant sun?
Will I ever [bad word]  leave the sick undone?

Who made the lion mild that day?
I lost it all along the way
Builded castles in the sky
Never saw the lie
First laughter, then again depressed
First being sure, then confused
I the snake slowly squeezing my own neck tighter?

Remember the promise you have made

How could I dare to leave the children?
Why could I never keep hold of your arms,
...of your dreams?

I will never be the sort of a special friend
I could never let you go, not until the end
(how could I dare?)
Do my fingers jam around for a distant sun?
Will I ever [bad word]  leave the sick undone?

My time is slipping away
Leaving the city behind
Take a close-up [bad word] in evidence

Goodbye old friend, goodbye

I don't [bad word] in the sweet silence
Snakes revealed their very [bad word] 
Take me for sick
Save me from mine
 [bad word] closer
My thorns entwine
