ЩОДО НЕВІДОМОСТІ ДИВАНА КСЕНІЇ (Regarding the Unknown Status of Kseniya’s Couch)

Lyrics

Overhead I hear the sirens And the clock reads 2:03 Karoline in my dream In antigravity Performing on state TV She's at work She took the late shift That's why she's not next to me We're moving together As soon as we can Once we save enough to sign the lease I walk slow to my mirror I see my face in the mirror, and I think: "is anyone else alive? Is anyone else hearing this?" Then a flash in the mirror A yеllow blast in the mirror, and I think: "is Yaroslav's cat alright? Is Kseniya's couch on fire tonight?" Thеn time stops Like in a plane crash, or a Car crash, or a surgery I can't speak I grab my keys, I grab my passport And I grab my phone And I call Karoline On the second story Of the Office of Emergencies Where she works overtime Because it affords us the deposit On our first real flat But she can't pick up And I'm still stuck at my mirror Until the blast wave shatters the mirror, and I think: "is anyone else alive? Is everyone's house on fire tonight?" Then shards of the mirror Fly off of the mirror at my face And I run to the fire escape And barely miss the collapse Then Karoline calls: "it's so good to hear your voice We got hit, but everyone got out okay" It's weirdly quiet Once the ambulances disappear We lucked out Because Lev's on vacation And the neighbor's gone So no one died I look down at my mirror At least what's left of my mirror Reflecting the sky at night Face up in a pile of all my broken stuff Then after kicking the mirror I walk away from the mirror And into the pre-dawn light "I'll meet you after your shift Once we get an all-clear" Then we get an all-clear Is anyone else alive? I'm not feeling it
