Enthrall





You must've enthralled me,
Beside the doors of Hell,
I would've heard familiar voices 
But everyone was sleeping
Silent, without blinking, 
I fall into its hands,
Evasion is no option,
What I wished for now is

I stay to watch the celebration 
My head is a sack of watery noodles
Each second is a century 
While wondering whether
I should go back to my room, 
Or tell you my every secret
But in death I find no purpose
As a ghost I am not seen
But you look pretty in the dark

Just before losing my head, 
your car lights blink,
And you drive away, into pieces,
Before I can decide
Left here alone, 
Still trying to think
All to disappear
 In in the blackest skies

On my way back I take a shortcut
A shortcut through many misfortunes
I know what follows will need some time
I won't wait for it to pass through me and stagger
My mess of a memory 
With an intoxication blow

What is it?
I've forgotten.
You and all the devils
We are all sinners 
And I can recognize an obsession
The noise! 
O the noise of my imminent annihilation!
But there's a warmth so near 
I can almost touch

And what if this feeling isn't bad?
Was it ever?
I know on this earth nothing last for long
Even feelings watched after in time will die
And I understand this love is grown only too shy

But as long as the light is dead from above,
As long as I'm enthralled by this view of a girl
And as long as I believe it is she whom I love,
May they never find me.
