I am a man of nothingness,
so I dream of everything.
I am a man without a home,
so I feel love for all.
I am a man without a past,
will I have one in the future?
You are easily forgiven. I am not.
I have much patience for you, not I.
For you, everything is not enough.
For me, nothing is too much.
My works say what I cannot,
Telling the stories few wish to hear.
When I peer into the abyss,
I’m uncertain what I see.
Sometimes it’s hope for tomorrow,
else it’s me dying today.
Maybe I’ll die today?
Yeah, maybe I’ll die today…
When the view off the cliff looks beautiful,
I’m in a terrible place.
But when the view off the cliff looks beautiful,
I’m in a better place.
