I'm halfway between life and death
I live in a limbo I call half-sleep
and I know - I hope - I'm going to wake up any minute now
but since that moment hasn't come yet
I dream all day long because I sleep all day long
sometimes I have unbearable nightmares
a voice suggests me a way out:
“to stop this bad dream” it says
“you must make an act of courage
you can choose how to do it
but you've got to do it quickly”
I cry in despair because I don't want to
I don't want to, but I have to, do you get it?
Then my tears stop falling and I think that maybe -
maybe I woke up in a normal life
then everything's blurry:
there's a car ride and then a long wait
in a bare white room full of anonymous faces
they seem to ask me with their eyes:
and I want to tell them that I don't know
I had an important thing to do
I was supposed to end this nightmare once and for all
they take me to another room
where there's a stranger I feel is annoyed
she asks me questions I don't know the answer to
she looks me up and down and tells me:
I am too deep in my sleepiness to understand what she meant
so I tell her she's right
I don't belong, neither here nor anywhere else
although my mind has slept all day
my body must rest too now.
I could hope for a better future
but as long as I'm stuck in this nightmare
But one of these days I'll do it.
I'll take courage and I will finally
