K's Diary - Momus

Hope, vague hope, but waking fears

Pride, but proud of wasted years

I fall asleep, awake at 5

Cymbals prove that I survive

Only guard this way of life

Against the sister and the wife

Somewhere a failing’s saving me

The way is headlong, I’m drowsy

Somewhere a failing’s saving me

The way is headlong, I’m drowsy

My face changed and those I saw

Functioned by a different law

Hope, vague hope, but waking fears

Proud but proud of wasted years
