The Door Malaise - Nothing Lyrics

I am here and there is nothing to say
If among you are those who wish to get somewhere
Let them leave at any moment

What we require is silence, but
What silence requires is that I go on talking

Now, there are silences, and
The words make, help make, the silences

I have nothing to say
And I am saying it
And that is poetry, as I need it

This space of time is organized
We need not fear these silences

Now, at the beginning, more and more
I have the feeling that we are getting nowhere, slowly
As the talk goes on, we are getting nowhere
And that is a pleasure

It is not irritating to be where one is
It is only irritating to think one would like to be somewhere else
Here we are now, a little bit after the beginning
More and more, we have the feeling
That I am getting nowhere, slowly
As the talk goes on, slowly, we have the feeling
We are getting nowhere
That is a pleasure, which will continue

If we are irritated, it is not a pleasure
Nothing is not a pleasure, if one is irritated
But suddenly, it is a pleasure
And then more and more
It is not irritating, and then more and more
And slowly, originally we were nowhere
And now again, we are having the pleasure
Of being, slowly, nowhere
If anybody is sleepy, let him go to sleep

Our poetry now
Is the realization that we possess nothing
Anything, therefore, is a delight
Since we do not possess it, and thus
Need not fear its loss
We need not destroy the past - it is gone

Nothing more than nothing can be said
Hearing, or making this in music is not different
Only simpler than living this way, but
I'm still talking about structure
It must be clear from that, that
Structure has no point, and
As we have seen, form has no point either
Clearly we are beginning to get nowhere
