Something sits in my head I feel awful pain Something crushes, bothers, saws Inside my brain I can't bear it I can do nothing I see nothing and hear nothing My body is quite palsied Suddenly there are all passing It cuts like nightmare dream Now I know - it's my consciousness The nightmare consciousness It's protected against reality Against the monotony of life Among mass of happenings I meet busy people Nervosing, shouting, exhausted I need only their parodies The skeletons of minds There was a seal on their foreheads, Seal invisible for them Though many years this self annihilation, People without imagination, A wild wish is growing in my minds An animals mad obsession has teaken me It's stronger than hate Than avesion to life There where whiles but mad went away, Now there is a bad pain in my dull brain I'm looking at my reflection And I see the same seal on my forehead now.
