Dreams of life to set me free,
Dreams for all eternity,
A light to hold the hand that falls,
A light to guide all weary souls,
...
Each time I look about
It's not there,
It's not around,
I stalk the roads real slow,
...
The hours they creep,
The patterns repeat,
Lasting for days without even blinking,
Eyes dry open,
...
Centimetres turn into inches,
Times are reduced to words,
Faces linger only in photos,
Moments are replaced by moments
...
I spent too much time looking into other eyes,
Watching golden swings, fabricating lies,
Convincing myself of one thing, knowing its not true,
I thought I was a follower, then I noticed you,
...
Shiny paint and platted hair,
Smiles and bricks and wooden stairs,
The hopes, the whole ensemble,
The spirits here won't let if fall.
...
I look to the past so fondly
At the flags flying there,
The complicated flutters,
The brilliant colours
...
Everybody is a liar,
Everybody is a saint,
Everybody knows the answers,
Everybody wants to wait
...
Crossing vapour trails
Tangled in my mind,
Leading me forever
In circles round myself,
...
Isn’t it funny
How life
Can be life
Without being lived?
