Steppenwolf

My passion & suffering derive
From the gods of wine & sensuality
And the dark unconscious states
That these inspire

I am not a man
Blessed with the ability to understand
How one can escape the falling nights
Without any fire

All I can do is to strive
Against the isolating will to die
& I don't care if it's me
Who drags myself through the mire

Would you please offer me
Another chance at a rung of the very
Long ladder toward happiness
And could that ladder go a little bit higher

But down here I am, still alive
Barely enough energy left to drive
And to survive the flow of life
Not as a hero, but as an average liar

In my own country of delusions
With deep & well-concealed confusions
Getting real old
No more lovely landscapes to behold
And no more desire
