—Properties—
I don't have depression
I have overflowing ashtrays
And a room in total chaos
No, I don't have depression
I only have empty beer cans
That I kick with every step
I don't have depression
As I don't have any drugs
I used them all
I would buy more
But I don't have any money
As I don't have depression
I don't have depression
As I don't have any company
I don't have friends
I don't have a relationship
I don't have a job
My health
I do have
And I don't
I don't have depression
But I have this pain
That doesn't go away
I only have feelings and thoughts
That I'll keep forever
Since I don't have anyone to share them
I don't have depression
As I don't have a future
Hopes and dreams
I don't have depression
Is what I'm saying in order to keep
Some of my relationships
Which I don't have anyway.
—Passion With No Desire—
Passion with no desire
Only when my lips
touch yours
the pain stops
In the mornings
I feel the impact of the nights
making it hard to get up
Ever since you entered my life
fewer and fewer people entering my house
and leaving without changing something
You.
You, all day in my mind
poisoning my body
ruining everything
you, solving every problem
that you cause
until leaving again
Everybody says that we look good together
if they say anything
but I don't care .
I only care about you
I hate you
myself
that I need you
the world
the pain
I hate that
only when my lips
touch yours
the pain stops.
