THE INNOCENT SLEEP OF A LOST SOUL

this house stands all alone
and far away from rain
on a woody hill

standing lonely in a room
liquid walls behind my back
i turn around and i was trapped
the doors went away

there's a mirror on the cracked wall
a mirror with
no-one looking in it
but a little girl in it
is looking at me all the time
who was crying many years before
& tries to crawl away

a little forgotten puppet on the upstairs
and cracks in the walls
which are hiding some old secrets & more?

a dusty old picture over the fireplace
with webs on it and past laughings
i feel a breeze
something is breathing behind my neck
or was it just the cold, wet wind
which is soughing through the broken windows
and make the noises all around?

kissing the transparent, fragile face
in the mirror
please don't speak
the child in it is sleeping innocently
she surely didn't found her rose!
my skin is bleeding out of thick veins
the fixtures are covered with warm linen
and
drenched in blood

2nd PART

tonight it's a phrase
the right
to go the way of light
i'm so impressed
by all the things around
but take the choice to go away
i'm afraid of decay
i'm afraid to stay
talking to myself
my sick brain is hypnotized
it feels like coming from the inside
the things that keep me trapped here
i don't trust my eyes

i don't want to wake her up
i'm afraid of decay
i'm afraid to stay
want to walk away

i'm looking through the broken glass
of a window
and see the sign "FOR SALE!"
changing to "SOLD!"
i'm trapped in this walls
i'm trapped in this house
can never go away

and the face (in the mirror) is laughing
the little face is laughing
and the little face is laughing
LOUD!
loud and dirty
have to learn to find the way back home
