Sachliche Romanze

Same old me, lying down, trying to get up
I can’t. Too heavy...
Etta is playing. Is it the radio, is it me?
I get up, I fall. I walk around. I fall heavier
I want to crash, I want to suffer, I don’t want help, I don’t need help
I need to fall to be able to continue
I’m scared to be alone
But I have the power, I have the control
It’s a game, so play it! Throw yourself!
I’m throwing myself, I’m falling, crashing over and over
Walking with no purpose
I can control it but I don’t know how. That’s funny
Keep falling. No! Get up you’re losing it!
I’m losing my mind
Everything comes out...
Do you wanna hear a poem?
