May 2022 – Scriptorium '77

Necessary Evil / Notwendiges Übel

The wheels rattle over the cobblestones like lasers dig into tattooed skin. Removing what should no longer be there. I already know that.

Standing still
Drawn into a picture
That wouldn’t move
But I was moved

es trudelt munter durch den abfluss
das regenwasser ist nur ein ewiges lächeln entfernt

Berlin is dirty
Berlin is loud
Berlin makes promises
Look at those clouds

Passengers passing by
Some with masks
Some without them
The daylight hits the soul

put a foot wrong
keep your mind strong
brave the change
behave strange

Wir fallen alle in einen stets wiederkehrenden Schlaf
Träumen uns an den Rand der Stadt
Und sind ra{s}tlos
