(?) - barely living

barely living (by deav)
Rio, Jul 2004 (?)

wake up, the clock is ringing
stand up, the room is spinning
back down,
it’s there, but i can’t see the sun

eight minutes more, the clock
is snoozing, i get up again
eyes blurred,
i stand up and just stumble on

i can’t see my face,
hidden by scrambled hair
in sleepy confusion,
yawning, i mumble
i’m barely living

one hour to get ready
and leave, twenty minutes to get there
where i am, yet i am not

feel like a ghost, a lost soul
things flow like in slow motion
feel like a fish inside a water bowl

night falls, all the way back
knowing tomorrow will be
the same,
head on the pillow i wonder
i’m barely living

serious stuff

my lyrics and writings are protected by author's right (droit d'auteur), which is the system of legal protection in Civil Law countries which subscribed the Union Convention of Berna (1886), according to which the act of registration is declarative of the existing right.

my lyrics and writings, although not registered in any national or international organization of property rights, are also protected by copyright, which is the system of legal protection in Common-Law countries which subscribed the Universal Convention, according to which the act of registration (since 1976) is also declarative, not constitutive, of the existing right.

all this means that the lyrics and other things were written by me and cannot be used for commercial purposes without my authorization and the due payment of royalties.

if you want to use them, ask me! if you want to quote them, make a reference to the source (after all, that's what quoting means...)! please, don't abuse them (I'll sue you)!
