Autumn taking in But I know that's not the cause Halting reclusion drags me down This life hesitates to be enjoyed Not the slightest prospect of change Vicious circle That I'd thought to have escaped A lasting state of worry prolongs Another mirthless year goes by Another hopeless day In another mirthless life Regarding life's blithenesses
Like unattainable j**els in the display Full of yearning Yet aware they can't be mine Grievously sensible That sudden griping feel All activates irrelevant An existence most fatally reduced Conversant becomes that state of mind Forming my personality The longly missed pa** of being spared Falls into oblivion
