Sit cozy by the hearth

And listen

To the distant echoes

They scream of you

They are your own voice

Who are you?

Who could you have been?

Here lies the door

That could split reality

The axe hanging by a thread

Above your head

Is breathing

Split!

You are now two beings

Cast out in separate dimensions

You don’t know about eachother anymore

An exemplary life

He had by this age

But the ocean of life was gray

Threatening to bury him alive

Tormenting him

Little had meant his life

He sometimes watched the nightsky

And whispered to himself

„you fool, no man can live like this”

All life has led me here

Never had a soul to love

Never had a soul to worry

For me, or me for them

Never had a soul to love

Never had a soul to worry

I lived life to the fullest

Ignored every rule

Got rid of every friend

Dedicated my life to art

No wealth, no health

No comfort

Just the joy of pure

Unhindered creation

Marks my years

Everything is empty

Nothing worth investing time in

I forgot how to live like a man

I’m now a beast of stench

Only art is left

A cauldron of despair

An empty gaze

There’s holes in my mind

But the dream may be fulfilled

In all these ashes I have wandered

Barefoot and bleeding

Would a life of nostalgia

Have been better?

I sometimes watch the nightsky

And whisper to myself

„You fool, no man can live like this”

By now we know

The two worlds are alike

No universe is alone

Each opposite has a match

A common ground

A common gust of regret

And no matter how much we wish

Not even god has walked a third path
