  What were you always waiting for?
  All this "getting through..."
  
  What are you waiting for?
  All this so-called knowledge
  before you begin.
  
  One last book,
  one last sentence,
  one last word,
  one last film,
  one last theory,
  one last conversation
  
  that will finally end all this,
  let it begin.
  
  One last piece that will finally
  allow you to say
  
  goodbye,
  goodnight,
  
  I'm selling everything off,
  I'm burning everything down,
  going straight out of business,
  and it's about time.
  
  Maybe stand on you own,
  speak your own,
  hear your own
  
  just this once.
  
  And just when you believe
  there's nothing left,
  
  and
  
  it is finally time to begin
  there is always one more...
  
  One more question,
  one more curiosity,
  one more mistake,
  one more experience,
  one more overgrown path
  stretching before you.
  
  So you take the step,
  start chopping away,
  dive in,
  believing this is the last
  and afterwards
  life will begin,
  
  you always promise this.

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
