in the feast of friends, she looks straight into my eyes,
i drink and don't pay any attention to her.
this is not what i want.
my friends know who she is,
and this matter bothers me so much.
she wants to live with me, because she thinks i'm always happy,
and i just want to escape from the party,
because i finally know that she is a professional prostitute.
it's too late, she said yes.
"Look into my eyes !"
the poor girl looks into his eyes, with so much fear & love.
"this is just what i want..."
"what do you want from me?"
"your heart, your soul, your virginity !"
the poor girl cries so hard and asks herself:
"where is the best place to hide ?, what is the finest way,
to feel my life once again ?"
the tall and blond man wears his glasses
and asks his final question:
"what do you think about it ?"
the sky is cloudy, and it seems that it isn't a good decision,
to spend your lifetime under the rain.
leaving home is an emotional event,
something very beautiful, unexplainable,
amazing & unforgettable.
all your family members want to hug you,
but you can't forget your damaged past
and you can't show what are your reasons to leave.
you just want to leave yourself, leave everything you did,
everything they did & every bad dreams you had,
in your place of birth.
yes my dearest, this is what i learn from a damaged,
& insane family.
i will not go, i stay here and try to forget,
all those sweetest moments i had...
Floating on mercury,
...what the hell are you doing up there ?
