I left my flat early this morning
With a heart as dark as the sky above
At that moment did I remember my jacket
And went back into my flat
I came out once more and the cold hit me in the face
As a jealous girlfriend would
I begin to walk aimlessly
A man of no purpose
And then the heavens decide to take a piss on me
Oh fucking hell you just had to do that didn't you?
I hear the thunder crackling and roaring
As though the heavens were making a mockery of me
I came upon the path of many directions
And begin to ponder on the events from the night before
I stand there completely lost in thought
As a child lost in the shopping mall
What sort of life is this?
I begin to ask myself
What sin have I committed?
I stand there as the heavens continue to urinate upon my head
I look up and just stare
The whole lot of you are crazy
I sit alone comfortably with my own thoughts
Till some individual thinks it sensible to ruin it
I am a man of few words
Don't push me to speak when my tongue is deserted of words
I think and think and think
Sleepless day after day night after night
A demon consumes my mind
As all experiences converge as one to fight my body
They begin to whisper in my ears
Like my many wives one complaining about the other
Shut up! I shout loudly
Only for a little girl to stare at me and swirl her finger around her head
Signifying to me I've lost my mind
