I can still hear echoes of the screams
Although a few weeks have already passed
Exclamation marks form out of erotemes
It turned out that nothing was steadfast
On top of a dresser an old alarm clock
Has been left to measure time in past tense
So filled with hopes and ambitions high
He was oozing with vigor, vigor for life
Yet when looking back at it now
We missed the huge-lettered writing on the wall somehow
The footprints on ground still lead to the stable
To the door bolted shut from the inside
In time one can learn to cope with it all
Yet the collar feels ever too tight, too small
It makes for an austere story
Fresh laundered garments and bed clothes
Were hung in the yard on a rope to dry
As pieces of bread get stuck in the throat
Table-wares are covered in husks and rye
In the corner of the stable, a footstool
Upside down...
In time one can learn to cope with it all
Yet the collar feels ever too tight, too small
It makes for an austere story
