”You have ten minutes to live. You have a pencil and paper. Write. In 3,2,1...”

lyrics

5. The ten minute test

Thank you my love your body was light
Thank you my sons you are hope
Thank you my landlord for keeping my nights
Thank you my friends for the dope

Nothing but memories and single malt scotch
Nothing is there when time runs out my watch
Everything living and dying at once
Here I am there you are and it doesn’t rhyme and I don’t give a shit

Get out hypocritical measly church mice
your bells never did ring till twelve
I’ll get nothing from you but I’ll give some advice:
Take a break from your eternal selves

Nothing but martinis, old hopes and lost dreams
No one to help me with outrageous schemes
Everything dying and living at once
there you are, here I was and the rhyme doesn’t work for a’ that

(Interlude)

Nothing is left but my body in bed
Everyone's waiting until I am dead
Stories and rumours don't mean as much now
Here we are, How are you
And our time's running out like my breath

Farewell to those beautiful women, my friends
to music, to food and to wine
Goodbye to nakedness, sweat and the bends

I’ll be gone, but you’ll do just fine.
I’ll be gone, but you’ll do just fine.
I’ll be gone, but you’ll do just fine.

Why a darkside navigator?
“I am responsible for the directions I take in those gray territories. I do go into depression, but I also know how to sail through it. My songs are the maps of experience there.” ... more
