Take a knife. Make sure that's well-sharpened.
Cut my soul in two and wait quietly
to see by yourself what it's filled with.
In the beginning, you will observe the sea
with the cloudy waves of melancholy.
And you will see the sun. A scorching sun. Then,
you're going to feel a comforting marine breeze.
(it likes to walk tenderly through my soul)
Cut a little bit more to see how many waves
of laughter jump out, but be careful to not spill 'em.
(they're therapy for my various disappointments)
Not to forget. You will see some failures.
Ignore them. Someday I'll fix them.
Cut a bit deeper and you'll find dreams
which I still have, and also desires and fantasies…
(I've to mention I have a special affinity with 'em)
After that, I'd like you to look carefully at the top.
Right there is happiness. Do you recognize it?
I'm Human. I'm a lot of things each day of the week.
I have about everything in this soul of mine, but
in two. I know that out of there, the pretty things
will always keep dripping out…
