Mind what you've unleashed!

Does sharing sorrow with someone truly…take a little away?
Are there words for heartbreak that ever get spoken?
Look, nothing of it can be seen,
can any of it be touched? If not,
then all this talk is empty…just excuses for sadness!
Doing these things feels good…perhaps it does…
When everything you do feels good, is anything really done?
You can force a smile, toss your head with great ease and say,
Here I am, just fine! All's going well!...you can say it,
but when your eyes turn inward…then…tell me, where will you hide? How?


Don't eyes sink into darkness anymore these days?
What can be understood of all this in light?
Light only scorches the eyes!
Only darkness can reveal everything!
Sorrow or joy, all of it lives in darkness!
Even diving deep into sleep, I sense it all, see everything!
What's happening inside, what's happening outside!
Is it really true that…dreams live within sleep?
What's been happening lately…I stay awake even in deep sleep!
All these words of heartbreak, they should never be written!
All that gets better in time!
When the heart weeps, just keep the heart alive,
when time comes, time will pass…take time, you'll find time!


Love, you are a strange bandit!
You steal the soul-bird away,
pierce and wound the weeping heart!
You bind tight and break the mind,
tell me, what joy do you gain?


What's happened…such small things won't do anymore!
You've really gone to my head terribly!
So you understand the torment yourself!
I understand plenty now, all that
quarter-hearted love, today its day is done!
Now I want the seal!
Something inside is fighting hard!
How much more can I stop, explain, soothe and deceive…to keep it?
I didn't put it in my head,
you did…so handle it now!


Didn't you say back then…life was like cotton candy!
Put it in your mouth and it melts away!
Why does your love nowadays
feel like cotton candy to me too, tell me?
You're giving me much more love now than before!
Yet even that doesn't satisfy me…
Don't threaten me again for saying these things!
I know nothing of all that!
You're the one who put it in my head…now handle it!


Huh, people call this thing life!
So now you know what life is?
All across my kingdom, only your coming and going!
You sit quietly and guard my heart, isn't that right?
By mistake, even by accident, in case it wanders elsewhere…see, that's it, isn't it?
You've become very clever,
learned all the tricks and schemes!
Let me see you turn your mind around and finish the investigation!
I understand a little of what trouble lurks here too!


Listen…what is all this nonsense!
Rising you, sitting you,
even walking, it's you, sir!
Let the heart do as it will.
Breaking and shattering all week long, however much…
I want only one 'you' though!
Let me see what the heart's investigation reports!
The waves playing in my chest,
the moon's turbulent raids,
nothing works without you!
Tell me, whose fault is it?
All yours, you've so filled my head!
So handle this madness and the low pressure of love!
