Written in July 68
Your mind is live, it seems absurd
Your mind is filled with thoughts of gloom
The end of love is always cryin'
Is there a fate? Is there a plan?
We'll think these thoughts, just you and I
This is the first song I ever wrote...
just getting started on the years of alcoholism
Your lips are sewed, your eyes are glued
Your legacy is solitude
Dead you are and dead you'll stay
And God will never come your way
You talk and shout, but are not heard
Poor soul, where's your vanity
What's left to you's insanity
Soon they'll put you in your tomb
Infinity alies in wait
You'll have to spend it in your crate
The end of living is always dying
The end is pointless, that fact is clear
What reason could have brought you here?
Time to think if you only can
Was there ever life or just deception
On the periphery of your perception?
For one day soon I too will die
And when my living at last has failed
I'll see oblivion unveiled
