I can feel the cold breeze on my arms
I can see all the odd ways the world behaves
I can't be wrong, the bird has left his nest
And today I can be

The way back was pretty long, I guess
And the road was lonesome at its best
Some came along, I can feel them here and there
And I should know
Where they went

Perhaps they went where all of them belong
A small house with windows in the sun
Some toys around, and laughter on the grass
A black hole where they smile and forget

Close your eyes, or did I just close mine
I can't get this picture off my mind
It's funny how, I can see through your eyes
Yet I can't hear you

All I hear is what's sung by the wind
I don't care if all the trees stand still
I hear beyond, that water we swim in
I don't believe the sun

I don't believe in things I can't touch
I don't reach for things my eyes can't meet
I don't know why, I just hear it a lot
It's written in
For good now

Oh it's good to be myself again
I'm in awe of what I could do now
The music's on, now everything makes sense
Just like it oughts to
Which way is back ?
I wish there was something again
I wish there would be something new
I wish it wouldn't stay that way
But I don't remember if I care

I think I know where I'm going
But I'm not sure I remember
There's no reason to stay away
There's nothing to stay away from

And here I go rambling again
I seem to think that it would help
I don't know what I do again
Was anyone else living there ?

I'm so afraid of those who talk
Because I feel like I cannot
My words aren't the ones I thought
Their world isn't the one I'm in

And maybe we all kept writing
Just so we could talk to ourselves
While wild memories **** us off
The one who's left would maybe learn

And maybe he will not look back
He'll let us die just like we did
I could say that I am sorry
But I'm not sure I believe it

There's no reason to be sorry
Nothing in there I would preserve
Wouldn't show anyone on earth
Why would I show that to myself

Why did I show that to myself
What in the hell was I thinking
There's a thousand of other way
Yet there's the one I can think of

Is there at all logic in there ?
Am I the one bound to try this ?
I've been doing it everyday
Twenty more minutes gone away

Well maybe I won't sleep tonight
I feel I really don't want to
Me tomorrow won't remember
And all day long he'll have to learn

Maybe he'll find sleep in his night
Maybe he'll find the clue I missed
Or maybe he will delete this
He'll try to find out a new way

What is poetry anyway
Some people like to write novels
Because it's like a trip abroad
poetry's just stepping outside

Maybe it's better improvised
Maybe you can't chose what you do
Or did I chose so long ago
Twenty more minutes gone away

I'm just listening to some guy
Talking over the internet
About some pretty mystery
He makes such pretty videos

This is the third time I watch it
I have no idea what he said
I just wish there was something new
Twenty more minutes gone away

People read whatever they want
I'm only writing this for you
I can't pretend that I make sense
But that's something you always knew

Twenty more minutes gone away
I wish I'd have found something new
I've been looking everywhere now
You'll try again 'cause I know you

In two hours I have to walk
With people who know I can't sleep
And most of them are pretty nice
but there's nothing that they can do

Twenty more minute gone away
I haven't found anything new
The me I am today is tired
I am waiting for tomorrow's

I really should stop this thing now
Throw this down to the internet
To folks I know nothing about
I'm sure this is a good idea
By this point you should have fallen asleep
In the ether, touch,
In the colours, scent,
In the shadows, light

And the unmoved thinks
As the landscape, sinks
An older world flies

The alentours scream
So many outlines
Under the covers, resonate

Another cloud fell
And so many days
Under its cover, resonate
A song that never stopped ending
Shadows hiding from the light
Beneath the windows, sitting still
'Been runing since the death of night
Inside the world they wished to fill

Shadows leaking from the night
As the day surrenders the world
Drown everything in old memories
Eat all there is without a word

And shadows fall from all around
Spreading as far as I can see
Until the last oblivious thing
Gets eaten by the shape of night
This but with lots of reverb, organs and a ridiculously heavy guitar riff !!
SO I WOKE UP THIS MORNING
AND TOOK MY LSD
THEN GAVE MY GREETINGS TO THE SUN
AND HE JUST WAVED BACK AT ME
I'M SO HAPPY TO BE BORN IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WORLD
OH I'M SO GLAD I MAKE THE MOST OF WHAT MY TIME CAN AFFORD

AND THEN I STROLLED ACCROSS THE STREETS
OF SUCH A PRETTY TOWN
THAT HAD NO NAME BUT MANY PEOPLE
AND I AIN'T SEEN NO FROWN
I'M SO HAPPY TO BE BORN IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WORLD
OH I'M SO GLAD I MAKE THE MOST OF WHAT MY YOUTH CAN AFFORD

THEN I WAS SITTING IN THE PARK
WHERE LITTLE BIRDS ARE SINGING
WHEN ALL MY FRIENDS CAME OVER
AND WE ALL STARTED DANCING
I'M SO HAPPY TO BE BORN IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WORLD
OH I'M SO GLAD I MAKE THE MOST OF WHAT MY HEALTH CAN AFFORD

AND THEN I CAME HOME IN THE BUS
WHERE EVERYBODY SMILES
WITH PEOPLE OF EVERY COLOR
THAT HAD SUCH MYSTERIOUS EYES
I'M SO HAPPY TO BE BORN IN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WORLD
OH I'M SO GLAD I MADE THE MOST OF WHAT MY TIME COULD AFFORD
You think it's bad now, just wait 'till they think they figured out sarcasm
Another station left
Sitting down we're moving, still
Forward once again
To climb the flattest hills
And in our little cage
We travel through the fields
Gazing towards nature
Behind our brittle shields

The train is right on time
What a wonderful world
But I still can't explain what it is that I do

Another hour left
Until the black skies pull, out
A new day's worth of miles
To dispell any doubt
And silently people
Are waiting for the day
To do important things
They don't want to delay

The train is right on time
What a wonderful world
But I still can't explain what it is that I do
Sure If I didn't ride the train to my workplace I would probably lose my job, but I figure getting there by foot might be work enough
Welcome, dear people of the end !
Look at the things we did for you
So many good stories we wrote
No way you'll ever make it through
Oh and here they go worshiping the heat death of the universe
