the same notes repeat
a rippling treble, quick and aloof
She paints her feelings
too quick for me to clear her head
act or not, I won't care
the notes I couldn't sing
what I had wished so long to be beautiful
they have alexithymic rhythm
for I to be a lyrical Einstein
for I to be something
piano rings pianissimo
cold and heavy, dead breaths
I sway to your music
I want this too, I say,
asphyxiate me aloud, I'll be silent
to make music is to leave it all forward
to be 'someone', is to think comprehensively
I am what the people want, their forté
move me like voodoo, I know no difference
I want this, I want to be
