Ruler of Empty Lands
05:59

You are the supreme ruler of your own tomb.
Of empty lands.
The two singers are mocking you.
You are not their king.
They are the bards and jesters of another court.
But it's not your court.
It can never be.
You saw them as contenders to your throne.
To your supreme rule over nothing.
Your tower is becoming your last place of resting.
A tomb.
This is why you decide to leave.
You must especially get away from the singing.
So, you build a boat out of skin and hair.
Of delicate cloth and finest thread.
They go under and you watch them from your highest tower.
You retrieve their bodies and build a bridge.
It's the only way you know.
Halfway across, the bridge fails you and you fall to your death.
And the last thing you hear is the singing.

Rubber Skin

Waking up in the midst of night.
Your skin feels hot and itchy.
Time seems stuck at 00:54.
You go out for some fresh air and a wheeler,
only a short one.
A long league later,
you happen by the local pub,
now under a new name.
When did that happen?
Gone is the beer-soaked pub it used to be.
The glitter ball is out of this world.
Rainbow dancefloor.
Later, you meet a thousand flowers of Goldblum.
All but one makes you a proposition.
You accept without thought.
Oh dear.
Back home, it's 00:55 and sleep comes late:
Who really was that man,
and had his skin not looked unusually smooth and flexible,
just like yours?

You can climb that mountain, but you will never reach the top.
There was a time when it was still not too late.
The one who sent them may not forgive you.
You may never climb that mountain, but you can still reach the top.
There is still time. It is not too late.

A thief called Snail steals your car.
You find the fucker and fold them up like one might fold a sandwich.
The wanker curses you to no avail.
They love it when you play it rough.
