Without reason

The things we can not get without fighting

Are the things we can live without

Because we never had them from the start

And yet I wish to align my inner compass in your direction

Defy the storm with my sinking ship in the dark

At a time where I lack deterrence

How far can I devote myself to chasing the futile

Deceived by the story of my dream

Before knowing that I was asleep all the time

Hearing your voice all the time in my restless siesta

A truth kept away from me or perhaps something

I deliberately did not want to notice

The flood continues to threaten to drown me

But I go on my way with a defiant smile

A way into your open arms

I will take it even if it is all pretence

I do not have reason

I do not know where is the end

I do not know if this is wrong

But at least for a while sing gently to me

Even if it is all a lie
