Like a newly struck medal The full moon spread its rays, And the dark night streamed Like a river over sleeping Paris. Cats passed by with ears pricked up, Like beloved shades. From you, till then as joyful as a peal Of trumpets on a sparkling morn, A cry so plaintive that it seemed unreal, Was staggeringly torn. "That naught is certain here below, That always, though it paint its face With utmost care Man's selfishness reveals itself, That it's a hard calling To be a lovely woman, And that it is the banal task Of the cold and silly danseuse Fainting With a mechanical smile, That to build on hearts is a foolish thing, That all things break, love, and beauty, Till Oblivion tosses them into his dosser To give them back to Eternity!" A medal, newly-coined, of flashing silver, The full moon shone. The night was old. Its solemn grandeur, like a mighty river, Through sleeping Paris softly rolled. From you, till then as joyful as a peal Of trumpets on a sparkling morn, A cry so plaintive that it seemed unreal, Was staggeringly torn. "That nothing in this world is certain, And human egotism is the thing Which all existence serves to curtain. That it's an irksome task to be a beauty, A boring job one has to face — Like frigid dancers, smiling as a duty With hard, mechanical grimace: That building upon hearts is idiotic: All cracks, love, beauty, and fraternity Until Oblivion puts them in his pocket To pawn them on to old Eternity!" I often have recalled that moon of magic, That languid hush on quays and marts, And then this confidence, so grim and tragic, In the confessional of hearts.

You hounded beauty. And I am a victim Victim of your cruelty! Do I know from where your boredom stems. When you mourn out in the night? A thug who resembled My love came to meet And the look he gave me Made me lower my eyes in shame You hounded beauty. And I am a victim Victim of your cruelty! Do I know from where your boredom stems. When you mourn out in the night? It was his inhuman eyes The scar on his bare neck your unfaithful shadows Made me so unhappy You hounded beauty. And I am a victim Victim of your cruelty! Do I know from where your boredom stems. When you mourn out in the night? The sharpness of the knife The red rose of your life The lilies of your face The last beat of your heart You hounded beauty. And I am a victim Victim of your cruelty! Do I know from where your boredom stems. When you mourn out in the night? To G. Apollinaire

Keep them eyes locked on the clock today Chase the seconds that escape Guess I missed another day Keep my nose broke, as it should be, I just like the flow Keep me warm with my own blood, it´s a questionable way to grow Anyway that´s what I hear, from my inner child too loud Keep her inside, yeah let her run wild in his black cloud I keep all of the wrong things, I am bound to my mistakes Like the post-it note, in the cubicle remain Anyway that´s what I hear, when I finally ask for help Keep my eyes locked on this old clock, until time fade away

Where gone where? R u dead? Where gone where? This beclouded soul Where gone where No orange fireflies Where gone where In this clouded sky Oh, dear, I waited for so long, but what for? Traversing the mirror for some mistimed cadaver Where gone where Hung-up with veins too short Where gone where This beclouded soul Where gone where Where’s my endorphins Where gone where For my beclouded soul Oh, dear, I waited for so long, but what for? Traversing the mirror for some mistimed cadaver Where gone where? R u dead? Where gone where? This beclouded soul Where gone where No orange fireflies Where gone where In this clouded sky
