Source 04:44
Source Source of impulse Never runs dry In silence spans above Whispering sky Just breathe perceive The inner eye Between the fingertips White sparks fly Red drop in the dark Press myself on the soil Plough in the spark The world is a coil
2.
Zero 05:19
Zero It was cold Gradually exhaustion Gave way to air Finally I could breathe again The night relaxed After a short downpour Earth smelled moist Petrichor I waited for dawn Tender glow on the horizon Beneath grey veiled sky How silent No bird singing Temperature dropped Below Zero
3.
King of the Snakes You carry your crown You bless this little town Smooth and gorgeous scales A fond of wisdom tales Wuźowy kral They stole it from you The meanest thing to do Exploit to get rich Condemn you as a witch Wuźowy kral Get back the hoard Be again our lord We will treat you right feed you milk at night Wuźowy kral

Medication 04:00
Medication A pill for sadness A cream of aching souls A bath for psychocarnage For verbal bullet holes A pill for logorrhea For eye-contact burns To sweeten bitter yells To keep the tide that turns Hand me a sip of that potion To make sleep a peaceful notion
5.
Ashes 05:30
Ashes A slight breeze rustles in charred leaves A dust devil whirls up the glistening ashes A numbing silence no sound no one breathes In broken glass shards light reflection flashes What’s left of him is just a heap of cinders No way to imagine human final pain A broken life a pile of charcoal splinters The whole town had waited but there was no rain Imploded screen a molten keyboard glistens A blackened chin bone in a desperate scream The total silence where nobody listens Reminds you that this isn’t any dream
6.
Step 05:00
Step Walk with me Step by step Climb with me Step by step You’ll be able to walk again Follow the heart Beat by beat Follow your mind Take the lead You’ll be able to walk again Take thy bed And walk the walk Loosen the tongue And talk the talk You’ll be able to walk again Trust in me Trust in me Trust in me Trust in me
7.
Morality Police Ankle-length coat A veil not too bright It’s hot and damp The shoes are too tight Don’t play music Show no leg No devil alcohol No gold around the neck Morality police, take your veil I’ll shove it down your throat Why no miniskirt Why a long coat You just can’t work here The customers would gloat It’s all indoctrination Just wear what you would like No one to tell you What’s virtuous, silly tikes Morality police, take my veil I’ll shove it down your throat
8.
Run 04:29
Run The floor cool quake of apricot earth Orbs pistons sea anemones in the stream Blowing over seething sandy hills Navel of earth your red flows and blinds me Bird-winging roar blue wind blows Through the brightness of the hall The white wide plain through which we run Where our faces mirror on the walls In the wide white summer plain I suckle on your breast kiss and caress The reddish warmth of your skin We run together tied with a glowing bond And we tremble from the force which pulls us along A warm stream fizzing up the brain And we go deaf due to the roar Of the running flood rushing through us
9.
Forever 05:01
Forever Two trees at the river’s edge Their twigs entangled across the ledge Their roots have crossed the river bed Wrought together under pebbles grey and red The river keeps trying to separate them Men cut off the twigs and stems To leave a gate for ships and boat Twigs and branches stay afloat The roots start building a growing wall And finally water makes a sideways sprawl Forever grown together now Inseparable interwoven bow
10.
Reel 05:17
Reel Reel revolve rotate Turn around your mental state Wash your brain with soap Abandon all your hope Turn around your mind We all want to be blind In firestorm aghast This day will be our last We hope for a quick end Hide behind the bend Hope the wind doesn’t catch us To bake or burn or incinerate us There is no way out No need to pray or shout We crawl to nearest creek Which drown the old and meek We found a way out of here Our hair stands from our fear Remorse just comes too late Reel revolve rotate
