Another collaboration with Kulsum :),
There is a pianist who plays my literature in strange notes
In every note a part of my soul floats
It tickles my pain and brings me closer to the edge
It tears my restrain, tears my confidence to shreds
Tracking new paths on his howling canvas, he stops and stares
And drags his limbs to walk in the sun without a fear
Shadow covered ghost follow the spell of his piano
The spell which is working its way so powerfully, yet neither knows
“no more alibis” he says leaving the stars to sleep endlessly
Himself, he wishes to drown in the spell, to live in dreams miraculously
He dreamed thousand and one tales, and time gone by
But had to breathe in reality, to shed the tears and then dry
Into a pile of aching bones, where no ashes lay silent
He wishes to stay calm, even if feels violent
He clenches his teeth into a painful smile
For it was the best way to live if he must, at least for the while
