Bleak

A misty chamber for a broken self Whose world lies shattered on the floor He has no friends just a grey-blue chair His mind is focused on the wall "desperation and gloominess nerves are numb...fragments of a fettered sun" There is someone who stays in the plain house Like a pale weathered shade behind windows There is someone who sees cruel pictures While he walks down the road dead tired He's waiting there for an end to come It's so unjust that he can't leave The aching tune of his solitude Will always whisper through that night "a mirror to wonder...words won't save me flattering darkness...fragments of a fading light"

I shiver at the very thought That you could leave this quiet room Without a word of hope or a memory Has it always to end in this way? If I heard the sound of weary steps I would think you would never wake again All through those nights and fretful nightmares A tightrope walker glided on my tongue

I sleep on a thin drowning rope To burn inside the fragile sea I saw you fall many days My nights were cruel - windless boughs To you I wrote fevered rhymes Oppressive sounds inspired me I am... ...scared of a moment that won't come ...scared of a landscape draped with clouds ...scared of a wilted envelope ...scared of your poem's parting verse

My mind is bleak and toneless are these walls Moments are passing by like trains that never stop I think without a thought but somehow I think after all The breath of nightly calm would cure my tumbling heart You'd be frightened if you were here To embrace my life - has to sear The shore remains unmoved By those rousing cries that are flirting with sleep I've wandered to find But still, still I'm not there A journey so infinite And still, still I'm not there You'd be frightened if you were here To encourage - life has to sear

Visit yourself and tell me how you feel Always I knew what you meant but now I don't know I see the trembling veil of your soul and tears that never dry... never dry Woe is me - sometimes I can't sleep at all So close - the distance still grows And sickness, our foe, still blows I noticed your fragile thoughts and stars that changed their colours We sat together so far away... so far away Yesterday I sang a melody of autumn In your hearse we'll rest tonight Tränensaat am Seelengrab Das Leben zerrinnt Ein Tropfen im Wind Narbenworte, Bruderpein Ach! Wer errät mein trübes Sein? So close... yet so far... yet so far...

Die Stimme ist gebrochen Noch gestern tönte sie in warmen Wogen Das Flammenwort entschlafen Noch gestern berührte es wie Honigwein Sein Glanz ist längst erloschen Die Seele müde und unsagbar schwer Er sah Dein Herz erkalten Und mit ihm bunte Flammengartenwelten Dein Licht ward ein Zauberquell Das stumm im Felsensumpf versiegte Sein Glanz ist längst erloschen Die Seele müde und unsagbar schwer Ich weine seine Tränen Sein Honigwort soll mich wie Gold durchfließen Sein Lied wird mich durchtönen Er ist nicht tot doch Trauer lähmt den Atem Sein Glanz scheint längst erloschen Die Seele müde und unsagbar schwer Es ist des Bruders Seele Die wehmutsvoll durch meine Worte strömte Aus schmerzgekröntem Wundengold Wird einst sein Feuer auferstehen

Your days are sleepy Worn out and pale Few clouds will disappear out of the blue You touch the window pane The rain feels dry Your fingers kiss my brow out of the blue A shade of streetlight Is watching you You give me a smile out of the blue Your eyes tell me your tale of woe So sad and deep that I can't go Or do you want me to leave you again? The grey chords of end Are sounding nigh And if they stroke you out of the blue... I know it's late now You don't let me in A chilling butterfly - out of the blue

It won't be darker Everyone told me It won't be darker A flowery phrase Some friends are leaving They simply go to sleep And shaking darkness Slowly ripening I saw a weary man He watched the playground Where children dreamed of things he used to dream of... "One says that every sort of human being loses, after reaching a certain age, his ability to see The world with amazing eyes. But who can maintain this without the knowledge, Without the wisdom of infinity? We're still dazzling ourselves with sparks of ignorance. I won't go that way!" I saw the weary man He turned his heart away from the playground He looked so sad - as sad as me

This world will end for a second And noises all disappear The sound of lonely raindrops I'll whisper away your fear ...and we fall, we fall through endless nights we glide on manifold seas ...and we dream, we dream together now the boughs are weaving the trees
