there are too many of you
flying, hasting, running into oblivion

no, I haven't asked for you, never

you create yourselves from shadows
and blurring rays of unreal existence

so why are you here in my chamber, noisy

you disturb the warm rain and pull me back to life
and let me breathe the icy, stinging air of reality

can't you see I wasn't ready for this

you probably have to do what you were made for
like an executioner has to swing his axe again

well then, hit me once, but good

i won't bleed again and redden the spherical floor
and slip and fall into this bed of sweet poisoned thorns

you had me once talking to vanishing clouds

desperately looking for ultimate control, i know i will fail
but you are born within my quiet chamber and beg to live

you need me to decide, to embrace or to kill.
