The Spiral
11/96

When the leaves turn gold
My heart becomes cold, I fear the worst
I should make it through
And life will go on

Should I wake up tomorrow, what will I follow?
A miracle or a curse, I fear the worst
In which path should this day take its course
I do not know, but life will go on

The spiral, when I enter a challenge
To exit a dissolution
To enter another problem
To just survive my inner death
And manage to solve it with my inner strength

The spiral, circling my head
From my wake up, till a temporary death
To desire, but to never be granted
To be rejected and to never be received

In my room, with tunes at an ultimate altitude
As loud as can be
I’ll become a coldman, fading away my gold glow
I can’t stand it anymore
Life can't go on now

The spiral is a constant line of different obstacles
Entering the biggest challenge everyday

This problem has to change now
I can feel it pull me down into quicksand,
Into quicksand.
