"Kafka" lyrics - JINJER
Hardly in the spirit of the era
Delicate and thin-skinned
One appeared in front of the jury
Face uncovered against the wind
[Refrain:]
In this life unprepared
With a script unrehearsed
Beauty of looks, beauty of faults
Frightened and offhand
Deaf to a command
Anguish in an envelope of bliss
Whom to wake up in the morning?
A Gregor or a Josef will it be?
Neglected and abused or wrongfully accused
Or eventually plague will catch me
While others see to the horizon I can see just beyond
I'm micro-dosing hell staying under a blissful spell
My vision drinks up, the ink I dip my eyes in
You came into the world unloved
But love has found you through a word
Cupid pierced your chest with nibs
The void will bleed with inks
The void will bleed with inks
[Refrain:]
Absurd of my existence
I'm aching through persistence
The pen will slit the heart
The pen will slit the heart
The void will bleed das nichts
[Bridge:]
I showed my bare face
It was ripped off like a mask
As they stepped upon a throat of my own song
Unmasking comes in price
All that pure is compromised
In exclusion I cement myself alas
Now I am just a ghost at the attic
Life for me is doing time
The world has shut me down
But it's more than just fine
Not everything has purpose, nothing happens for a reason
How absurd, what a treason for a man
We are lonely, don't feel sorry
And at night when there's no glory
Laugh without interruption to cough blood
[Outro:]
Absurd's my existence
Oh how absurd
