Since the day they called me and I heard you passed away

I had no peaceful night no minute of rest

I can't hear myself think no love left for another

This first night of winter was unison my own death

Come closer dearest void and choke me from the inside

Strangle me slowly or break my neck whilst the fall

It makes no difference to me I don't care at all

Neglect the fall as long as we keep on falling apart

You were not my closest friend but the longest-serving

You were my fellow or at least you tried

But you died last winter strung up in the stable

They found you in the morning dead as our dreams

Tonight I'll get so terribly drunk I'll lapse into coma

For f**k's sake I'll drink myself into oblivion

Cause the only way to forget about you

Is to deafen all senses until deadness eventuates

Chance had thrown us together and only death can part

If my attempt should not fail a bullet will all too soon conclude

F**k this life

I re-open my scars and fill the hole in my heart with smack and wine

And I will lay down my bones at this stone-cold rivers muddy banks

One breath left until the void engulfs me

One breath left and all belongs to the past

You were not my closest friend but the longest-serving

You were my fellow or at least you tried

But you died last winter strung up in the stable

They found you in the morning dead as our dreams

Tonight I'll get so terribly drunk I'll lapse into coma

For f**k's sake I'll drink myself into oblivion

Cause the only way to forget about you

Is to deafen all senses until deadness eventuates

F**k this life

F**k my life

This was the year of the great depression

This was the year I buried myself in the dust of days
