“Looking for
a moment of silence
Long before I
fall, dead
Long before
silence encompasses me
Engulfs me, overwhelms
me
Looking for
a moment of silence
Long before I
fall, deaf and blind
Long before
the darkness turns into an abyss
Of an ever
growing void
A cursed spectator,
a spectre
Looking for
moment of silence
Long before
the silence itself lays bare
To haunt me
of its nakedness
To seduce me,
tempt me
Make me
scream, drown me
In my own
dirty exaggerations, intentions
Leaving me
at the mercy of the days
Scattered around,
trampled upon
Looking for
a moment of silence
As if to
taste the death
A distant
glimpse, an introduction
Long before I
fall, addicted
Long before the
longing kills me
Buries me in
the depths of
My hollow
conscience, empty volitions
Sacred fears
and cheap regrets
Looking for
a moment of silence
Long before I
rest in peace, alas...”
