Once an old man told me: "Live a life that would not embarrass your dog near your coffin. Remember that, kid.” And I did. Times are changing, but dogs stay loyal. Wars are ending, but dogs stay loyal. Prices are rising, but dogs stay loyal. Folks are betraying, but dogs keep staying loyal. Water is polluting, but dogs stay loyal. Mars is moaning, but dogs stay loyal. Ice is warming, but dogs stay loyal. Verve is abusing, but dogs keep staying loyal. Come see me, hear my lifelong story of mistakes and bruises. You and I are both alone, my good-natured fellow. There's cold wind outside, There are volcanoes exploding within. Start this! Stop this! There's little left majestic. Start this! Stop this! You and I are betrayed and decollated. On river's bank, with absurd in my hands, I shared bread with a true friend, a friend to the very end. We don’t deserve them! I remembered myself, that old man, and the dog, the dog I had never had.

She Was 03:50
How could I know that it was not forever? How should’ve I acted devoid of passion? I didn’t know that it had all gone. I didn’t want to fuck it all up. She was a devastating thunderstorm and the calmest sea I’d ever seen. Our days were furious like a giant swarm; my days just died in sins. She was a painful injury and the sweetest rum I’d ever tasted. Our joy was full of miseries, my joy had been already wasted. She was, she was a dying rose in a desert that I had created around her tiny precious spirit. I was, I was a pile of lifeless ashes that could not feel her tiny precious spirit. How could I know that it was not forever? How should’ve I acted devoid of passion? I didn’t know that it had all gone. I didn’t want to fuck it all up. She was, she was the cause of my insanity, the star shining for a lonely sailor on winter nights. I was, I was that lonely drunk sailor who could not save the heat on winter nights. I said "forgive me" She said "ok, honey" Here we go again "No"
