Sad Story

The night is so warm and my socks are wet
And it's so dark, and it is so late
And I want to send out these beautiful pictures
But the fucking fence doesn't work today
It's another sad story
Tears have vanished all our worries
Furious tempests of all kinds
Are attacking our minds
But we're starting with doors opened
Rain is falling from the ceiling
Someone's home is lying down
Bowing deeply to the ground
Things like the ones that you see
They may happen only here
It's home of all the weird shit
That you used to find unreal
Horses running in the river,
Trains are all so bittersweet
And potatoes are free people,
Rolling down around the street
Dogs are talking, cats are hiding,
Hornets flying without warning,
Tents get mixed and plans get fixed
So let's drink vodka in the morning
It's so hard to get up
After falling on my knees
It's so hard to lie down
Among blood and sweat and tears
Oh dear, oh why are we here?
Say hello to this wild crowd
Even thou our life is a fail
In priest's arbour we sing loud:
Drink my tea to reach quite higher
Our voices are our power
Drink some sips of holy water
While I'm fooling with fly swatter
But no matter how we try
This is pain we've always hove
I won't kill all of the insects
And you won't kill all the love...
The night is so warm and my socks are wet
And it's so dark and it's so late
And I sang this song to chase the moths away
And the fancy fence gave me blessing today
Leave the doors opened, babe...

(What the hell?)
They met in the middle of nowhere
The girl without soul and her brother
Two stones without feelings in this rocky hell
She had some songs to sing, he had stories to tell
He was shattered so he lied in bed
He slept deeply and she just napped
In this moment - believe me or not
One of her inner stitches just snapped
(What the hell?)
Next day they went out to explore
If there's something more, searching deep in a core
The hell slowly clenched its fangs around
And the children were barking, they couldn't stand the sound
On the top the first insects appeared
She only shrugged and laughed, but he wanted to kill
She was telling the stories about her dead fish
And the school and music and her dreams to fulfill
And they went to the cellar, they spent there much time
And they brought out of there some really heavy stuff
But as there was no devil's sign
They returned to safe place for a night
And a girl without soul brought her mighty guitar
She was shining so brightly like a sun shines through stars
And they sang one song and they sang two and three
And she wished this moment lasted eternally
They silently hummed everything that they knew
And she cried and her tears appeared so fresh and pure
And as stone moved another stone
Some more inner stitches have gone
(Gone gone gone)
Next day they went to eat some fancy food
And the sun was so warm and the morning was good
On the way back they slallomed among the damned spooks
All of these cursed spirits grown down their cursed roots
And girl said: 'We'd better go, brother
This famous inferno was never my place
I don't want these spectres to eat you
And I didn't find my soul in their scary embrace'
So they packed their suitcase and backpacks
Experienced an insane expression of art
And the girl asked the Charon to give them a lift
To the place that was close to her heart
And arm by arm and hand by hand
They escaped safely from this rocky hell
And after three hours of flying up
They got lost in green heaven... (Wait, what the fuck?)
(What the heaven...?)

Act I: As they stood at the gates of green heaven
In the woods, in the deep of a wild
The girl held her breath as in this wide entrance
She saw her guardian angel in white
So he bent and he whispered: 'My darling,
I showed you your dream way of life
But I won't help you to find your spirit
I'm too mystic to melt your cold heart'
And he twinkled, he flashed and he glistened
And hot as the hell was his Spark
But soon he left our brother and sister
Partly blind in the baleful dark
Act II: (Lost in heaven)
The darkness was too boring so they found the way out
As all the shapes and shades of green just needed to be seen
So they relieved their thirst and the boy chose the right side
Of a well, so they fixed already well-faded memories
They ate celestial ice cream on a fluffy cloud
And they went to the bastion so she could sing out loud
Every spot was visible from that glorious top
And once she started screaming she just couldn't stop
And drunk with her puissance she floated too high
But the fate soon repaid and she fell from the cloud
(I'm okay, I'm okay... Oh, okay I'm not. Oh shit, it's getting serious... Ah, well...)
She got a bit hurt and he took care of her
But she wanted their journey to continue till the end
So brave and relentless they went to sacred fount
And the holy water could heal her bleeding wound
He tapped her crazy head and said: 'Let's come back home'
His unexpected mildness cut a few stitches more.
Act III: Next day the rain came, torrential as never
They barely saw something through their wet eyelashes
And in funny raincoats like two caterpillars
They saw how the downpour smashes their dreams
But they didn't give up and their laughter was real
Everything was so wrong but the joy they still feel
And the girl with guitar felt emotions so strong
She didn't realise noone listened to her songs
But the angels and spirits made her feeling so sore
That she burnt away and she couldn't take more
She was hollow and achy and her heart just froze over
As if the air disappeared, there was nowhere to hover
How he saved her again - that's the surprising fact
He remained cold as stone - as in everyday life
And his peace, and his poise like contagious disease
Crawled into her heart and made it very pleased
So to ease her emotions so wildly turned on
Into wilderness pounced our girl without soul
And she screamed, and she headbanged, like a psycho she danced
And it took her a moment to get out of this trance
But when the air got too cold and the night got too deep
The girl hugged him discreetly and she put him to sleep
And she whispered: 'We're both as cold as dead stones
But I'm happy to have you, cause I'm not that alone'
(And the few more stitches have gone...)
Act IV: ATTACK!
Next day she woke up all covered with sweat
And there was a fright in her eyes
'They're chasing we wildly, my brother' - she said -
'So the future's no more paradise
And there's noone to help me as I stand in dead end
And it doesn't seem to disappear
It only breaks my heart that it happens in heaven
I thought it was free from the fear'
She trembled and choked and her face was so pale
One could say that she's made of clay
'You forgot that I won't let you die here' - he said -
'Take my hand and let's run away'
And in the God's garden they sang together
All the angels got shocked, song was as pure as never
He tried to heal with music, it was his unique way
Which ripped many stitches away
They said 'hi' to world's saviour who sat next to the pond
And his face was so pensive and their hearts were so warm
When there came a wild night in their base they did hide
Under dome of good sleep they gathered power to fight
Act V: (Memory lane...)
Next day they went through the memory lane
They had no big plans and the rain came again
So they bought some old things which had pretty souls
But on the fair girl didn't find her own
When the sudden thunder strongly hit the ground
She took him to the shelter (only physical now)
And like two little birds, sitting side by side
Breaking some more stitches they started to confide
But the rain leapt on them, girl got all soaking wet
She was cold and she trembled and she wished to have gone to bed
And again, safe and sound they escaped from oppression
And under warm blankets they finished their confessions
So as he took all the fears away from her that day
This time she destroyed all the insects on his way
Act VI: Next day it happened again
And she asked: 'Should I face it all like a man?'
'You're not even one of them' - he said
'Go with me, get it out of your head, forget'
And in the center of this scorching heat
They went on along this fucking street (kurwa mać!)
Playing music out loud, kicking stones to the other side
Like two cherubs - so cute and so blithe
Heaven gasped in green amazement
When he said - 'I'll play you the song of these days'
So she breathed very deeply to feel every note's scent
And the music played loud till the end
And last night she could look as he quietly sleeps
Till she whispered - 'There's no chance for me
My beloved green heaven doesn't keep my poor soul
Time for us, time to go, time to leave'
Act VII: As they stand at the gates of green heaven
And the angels attack them last time
Charon reaches out for our sister and brother
To take them to the other side

On a tiny boat in the middle of stormy sea
With mythical ferryman they were going to this place where the souls washed their sins
Boy was napping quietly and the girl tense as never looked around as their destination was close
In crowded purgaroty they left the boat as they heard hollowed souls' oaths and vows
And they wandered around a bit, cumulative was they fear
Thou they hunted some good melodies - the tension was growing, the danger was near
She clenched her palm on his arm and whispered - 'Danger's near'
'Oh dear...' 'Danger's near, danger's near!'
But it's never too late to laugh from our fright
And it's never too early to fight
As long as they were together noone could stab their cold hearts
She danced with him at the edge of a knife
She got a bit insane and she sang a few songs
Everyone heard them the other way
Soon the tension disappeared, cause together they were strong
Enough to face this crazy day
So they wandered through the market square among the waiting souls
Holding strongly their protection from the rain
Again they filled themselves with music and she did some crazy stuff
Craziness prevented her from going insane
Suddenly the frozen hands reached out for him
He recognised his fate calling and he knew he had to leave
'Little sister, I must go' - he whispered - 'I must face this journey alone
From now on for some time, departed, we have to face life on our own'
Out of suddenly loud sound of unpicking cut the air like a sword
A black, unsightly bag broke rampantly somewhere between her windpipe and throat
And something that was closed there since the birth got released like a bird from the cage
Her soul - it was finally free, feeling with a furious rage
And she loved and she missed and she cried, looking as they grow apart
And for the first time in her life she felt the sadness, deep in her heart
Waving their hands for last time, beyond the horizon he was gone
And what happened with our girl with a soul who's no more the cold stone?
(My soul... I feel it! It's in me! It's always been there...)
She took a deep breath as guide took her to safe place
And she was a bit lost in the dark
But at least all the monsters got out of her crazy head,
They didn't leave even one bloody mark
Next day she was heading to her beloved green heaven
Thankful for all the things she went through
She knew that this farewell could never be their last
And her soul was irrefutable proof
He reached his destination and with tons of peace inside
He thought of all these glorious days
He knew that this farewell could never be their last
One day he'll see her again in full grace
'And we smile in our places, washing off all the pain
Both released, nostalgic and free
And we know in the future surely we will meet again
Down on Earth, where lost no more we will be'

The bus is so stuffy, the direction is wrong
The only thing I can do is to sing another song
I had no idea how it all would end
There's a monster inside me tearing me apart
And down there on my neck I can feel my raging heart
I have nowhere to run out of my own head
And if someone tells me: 'You have seen it all before'
And if someone tells this kind of shit - I'll just close the door!
Cause there's no home for my parted heart
Hysterical laughter and the monsters in my mind
And my stomach so tied as I leave it all behind
On this rollercoaster I just realise
There is no right direction, no shelter from the storm
There are no hands that could keep me warm
Cause there is no home for my parted heart
And if someone tells me that it isn't true
I'll just punch his face with a loud FUCK YOU!
Cause there is no home for my parted heart
But you kept me secure for this short time
No words and no moves, just you by my side
And I never thought I would tell you that much
And I should have murdered you, too many things you saw
But instead of this I am breaking my own law
And I'm trembling for your safety every night
And if someone tells me that I'm changing a lot
I'll just laugh to tears from the twist of this plot
Cause there is no home for my parted heart
With every journey my new life starts
There were many occurrences against my will
But I discovered that I was able to feel
And now I'm still unsure what's coming up
I know perfection can be real just for a while
Again I need to learn this very common fact
That I am sentenced to be divided into parts
That's why there's no home for my parted heart
And you glued just for a while
This parted heart of mine
And we return back where we start
When I was wandering up to my own dreams
And I realised it was better than it seemed
My heart got parted and there's no home for me
