The north sea
Is never as black as you want it to be
Particle by particle
Wish the wind would whisper a little more
Than stories of endless nights & useless talks
But now the river speaks
Of arrogance & career opportunities
The building blocks of life surround me
Centrepiece of every 'good morning'
The palm tree stands alone
With dying leaves on a wet floor
Sirens roar
Day & night
Wish I was a part of it
A little more
Smoke and steam show the way towards the green
Cold & dark
As I look out the window
For a daily look of density & color schemes
The riverbed has not been well to me
You can't smile your way out of loneliness
I've been here for 10+ years
And I've always had the feeling that everyone stares
But I met my lover here
Through notable failures of a lesser man trying to cope
In winter I can hide a little better and
I lived in fear with cigarettes & beer
But I, I know, you can't smile your way out alone
Standing in the corner of the living room
Thinking nothing
For the first time
But I met my lover here
Might as well stay here
