I didn't ask for bitter coffee

Every sip of coffee puts a smile

on the morning stories

but once in a while nausea hits

the sleepless man.

Dragging memories through ashtrays,

smoking cigarettes with trembling hands

not knowing where it ends or where it started

floating on the smoky air with no plans,

our songs were uncharted.

Without heroes it’s hard to understand

what’s good or it’s bad

who’s the villain in disguise

the madness in the coffee foam.

Our mistakes were beautifully shaped

in a silent harmony

hidden in the morning aroma.
