Vera

A wild feast

On a cruel sea

Where the weakest link is strong

In ecstasy

It’s you and me

You love and hate me

Vera, Vera

I’ll do anything



So you tell me

Why are the low men stronger?

So you tell me

To the candlelight and silver waltz



For the want of a life

Where the knife doesn’t stab so hard

For the want of some love

For the life of a stranger

For the good in the world



You can’t touch

Its coat tails

You know that birds sing after a storm

Delight in

What remained behind



So you tell me

Does a robot feel at all

Can you tell me

If happiness is born from desire



But I was lost in the ocean

All this good in the world

Every day that we learn from

All good that we heard was there



But I ever only understood it backwards

The dizziness of freedom on the wave

Running for the shadows

Things will never change

The tyrant is opinion

The hardest thing you’ll ever do is leave
