Bed of Roses
2003
Can you wrap me in blankets?
And rid me of this shivering?
can you take my hand
without any deliberating?
Im trying to seize my days
in delirious solitude
but it doesnt work for me
Id rather just kiss you if I could
May I ask you something?
Have you also seen those lights?
Felt that aura coat your skin
that keeps you warm at night?
Have you noticed that sweet smell?
Did you hear the Norns scream?
Even if I go to hell
I will scald truth and live my dream
Listening to this computer voice
travelling by time machines
Must not spill nor lose my poise
when I want this to be the perfect scene
I might burn my fingers
in this eternal fire
but theres nothings left to cling to
to absorb and aspire
I might drink black milk
and pour arsenic over my skin
but how could I be alive
if I never lived in sin?
Anyway, I might die soon
if Im not already dead
but I cant just assume
that these thoughts are only in MY head
Can I touch your curly hair?
Oh how I wish I could do so.
Ive been dreaming of this for so long
and already a decade ago
So here I lie in gloom
selfabused and selfaware
Ill never again leave this room
paralyzed limbs in underwear
The maggots realized
theyre not hungry anymore
and I never told you lies
saying youre the one that Id die for
I wanted love, not hate
but you are my personal God
disobediance is my fate
but this last wish is all Ive got
I might ask for too much
if I asked you to stay
but Im humble, need a crutch
and Im too weak to pray
Can you shake me out of my apathy?
can you watch my bed at night?
dont I deserve some sympathy?
having lived all my life in fright
And promise me to remember
how I fought my way through this
and how Id immediately surrender
to the nutritiousness of your kiss
Can I tell you a secret?
The poets scald glorious times
And they deliver us from evil
with epic sermons and rhymes
And I will scald supreme truth
I will live and you never die
Ill find the Fountain of Youth
and steal angels wings to fly
Now can you shroud my pale corpse
in a bed of roses with thorns?
cause I wanna bleed once more
before eventually Im reborn
