"i didn't dare to imagine,
how this distant choice of mine
could be total satisfaction
and insanity combined.
all this energy within me -
it's everything i've got.
its capacity is not optional
and what's left is not a lot.
maybe redefine my limits,
maybe take a few steps back.
try to focus on priorities,
change course and stay on track.
because how long would you think
these dynamics work out fine,
if i keep on disrespecting,
my resources all the time?
Feels like I'm on my own
Amongst mass compensation
Didn't we once agree on so many things,
Or was it just naive to think that we are soulmates by nature,
not soulmates by choice?
That we share the same content,
not just produce the same noise.
That we care for another
when we face our deepest fears.
are we the difference that we're praising,
or just stuck in shitty careers?
i lost touch with everything
as my limits cheer me on.
it's just hard being dependend
on the colliding rhythms of everyone
that i'm sharing all this passion
and these obituaries with,
these days i question everything
and find myself asking if we are soulmates by nature,
or soulmates by choice?
do we share the same content,
or just produce the same noise?
do we care for another
when we face our deepest fears?
are we the difference that we're praising,
or just stuck in shitty careers?"
