leap into fall little miss queen of darkness on her cruise to an unknown shore hoping to find better things than the ones she knew before who would have thought that this is what it’s like behind the eyes of a loon who could have guessed what you were dreaming by the light of the moon is it true that you’ve seen yourself as a broken jar at the back of the shelf on tuesday you tried to find a name, but then black friday came chorus: take the big leap - prepare for a long sleep never to rise back from the deep and nothing left to keep forever striving to reach cloud number nine you could watch yourself not arriving at the end of the line shadows on wet pavements formed the language of your soul a heap of broken pictures, a journey through the rabbit hole “excuse me, madam, I think your brain is beginning to leak let me get you a handkerchief while you sit here, there’s no need to speak just turn your big brown eyes to the towers you see over there there’ll be a marvellous sunset, in a minute, with flowers and songs in the air“ chorus

antares they call me his rival but we’ve never met “I want to be like him?“ but how could i know who he is or how he feels they say I’m gonna leap and reach out for the star while they warn me of the danger they wait and watch to see my end in an endless fall but I am just like you or like anybody else but I gave up striving and I gave up hoping I don’t even know what I could be everyday which you pass through you learn and see and hear yet no aim is getting near though what’s growing all the time are the faculties for choice who is he or where is he or how do I look like him I would change if I only knew who I am and who is he I’ve been here for ages and never felt the urge for anything to wish for or anything to feel I am here and there and everywhere I wake through every night shining blindly among the blue I am without a purpose I’ve never had an aim I’ve never felt the need for any claim they say he is the better they say he is the brighter they say he is the stronger but I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna see I am what I am I am in my place where I am all alone red light in cool true blue how can I - how can I know who he is or where he is how can I - how can I know how he is or what he is where are you - what do you say what do you say to me who are you - what do you want what do you want from me

fall waiting on a cloud of uncertainty hazy the mists obscure my sight the fragments of my mind rage and threaten lazily waiting for the stars to fall waiting for the tide to turn again longing to read the final play the path that leads us right to the way out that is left waiting for the wrong to fall
