Without Pretending

Like a swan on your lake
I don’t swim cause I can’t
I am making mistake
But I’ll never pretend
That today I’m all right
That I am strong as steel
Sweet embrace are not tight
Fever’s dead as I feel.
In this day, I’m just fiend
Damn it what have I done!
Hard rain’s changing with wind
Wind is changing with the sun.
But I cannot believe
For its glorious beams
What does make me to live
Maybe only my dreams?
On your lake with the swan
I don’t swim cause I can’t
I won’t be number one,
But I do not pretend.
