PINK SNOW

Snow falls down from wet roofs on your weak shoulders
You are one of thousands dreaming in that world, but

You can change nothing in these dirty grey days, and
You can change nothing in these tranquil dead dreams, and
In the clutch of cold sweat I still can see your dumb gaze
Strange faces, grins and hands, slow poison takes you to space

Shadow bursts in the weak circle of light
The tidal rush takes your breath and you’re tumbling down
Your ships are sailing into mist and night, and depths of the seas
Routine injection is turning life from Hell into peace
In there where laughter and sun keeps out smoke and fog, and
It is pleasant and warm, and there is always hope
You are approaching me; I hear every beat of your heart
I know now all about you; I know now what IS your God

You are somewhere in expanse between the lash of the years
You trace the lines on the map in the flesh through the gates
The world’s transferring by the heart so fast from duct into duct
And everything is left behind in your hell-bound ride
And after falling out and drowning and engulfed by the floor
You try to sail your broken ship but still wake up on the shore
You can change nothing in all these burnt out, dirty grey days
You can change nothing in this unreal and chaotic place

Day tears off the limpid veil from clouds and the fear
Night goes into nowhere through shiny crystal of sharp

Steel can change nothing in these dirty grey days, and
He can change nothing in these tranquil dead dreams, and
In the clutch of cold sweat I still can see your dumb gaze
Strange faces, grins and hands, slow poison, labeled disgraced, etc.
