For what?
Karolina Marszałkowska 1993 (Gdańsk)
You won't find me on the other side
I hold your warm hands
I'm here , just beside
In heavens your sight ends
Why you wish for Eden?
When me, you can have
Why look for cures
Am I not good as salve ?
You see only what fate gave
You don't know what was your share
You can't hear my sent sound wave
This fate played this game unfair
Why do you wish for paradise?
When you don't know human glee
I'd be your only merchandise
If you'd loose yourself in me
You can't hear my lips
You want heaven for your soul
You make a road from silk material
And head to deceptive hole
Why you wish for demise?
You could have had it all
Steps supposed to arise
While you have nothing more
